Disable pulsating blue ring around the lightbulb icon

Disable the bizarro pulsating blue ring around the ‘lightbulb’ icon in Photoshop 2026. In addition to being distracting (and annoying), this ring also keeps pulsating above some other apps when leaving Photoshop.

      Another suffering user here. Please remove it, it doesn’t bring any advantages but only appears to annoy users.

        Does it continue if you enable quiet mode in Preferences > Notifications?

        ​@davescm Yes, it continues when the quiet mode is enabled.

          This doesn’t have enough upvotes. Super annoying.
