Updating to CC 2017.2 Build 16.2.0.24

leaves this 'Did you know..' dialogue always visible at each startup, even after you have you dismissed it.

Anyone found a way to get rid of this ?

    Others have already requested that the context sensitive help dialog have a setting in Preferences so you can disable them. If you want to make sure it has been requested you can request it too, here:

    This pop-up seemed to go away at some point, but unclear how or why. Anyway, just updated to 16.5.0.100 and it still seems to have gone.

    Colin, is this context sensitive help? It sits on top of my stage for ever until I dismiss it each time. I think that's pretty insensitive. Feels like a bug. is the same as the thing you are discussing? Anyway I will bug report it thanks.

    I hoped there was a way to get rid of this particular update help box.

    If you read what the dialog says, and think about what you had just been doing, hopefully there is some connection. That's the point of the box. Something though you may have selected the wrong tool briefly, and now you find yourself using the right tool and getting advice about the tool you had accidentally selected a moment ago.

    The way it's done in SketchUp is better. I'll suggest that approach to them.
