Please STOP all the application pop-ups

In the last several Creative cloud app updates,  Adobe seems keen on badgering us with their new features and products.

 

News Flash! we already bought the product, stop trying to sell us.

 

All the pop-ups are just a time-sucking annoyance. Maybe the software and marketing people at Adobe have lots of time to kill, but those of us paying for the product just want to use it to get our work done. There needs to be a preference setting in every CC application to turn-off current and future feature and marketing pop-ups and introductions.

none of the complaints here have any useful information because no one can determine exactly what the complaints are about.

I guess the support staff is incapable of fixing this issue. Nothing new there.

Nobody here who has complained has, as of yet, posted a single screenshot. They evidently don't appear as frequently as you purport.

Me: Daily user of Adobe apps for 20 years

Adobe huge popups after every minor update since 2024: use the lasso tool to lasso stuff - derp-a-derp. 

Adobe settings menu: (crickets)

I fully agree about the #*&@ pop-ups. EVERY time I open Photoshop there is a lock-and-block popup that shows up, and checking the "do not remind for 30 days" box does absolutely nothing. I open the program many times a day, and have gone so far as to upgrade and then cancel to see if that worked. It's been going on since the good Friday sale and I assumed that if I just put up with it for that month it would go away. WRONG. new ad now. 
I have a rule that I don't buy things where I've been harassed to buy.  ie: I will never use Go Daddy service since they were the worst. Photoshop is just about taking that honor at this point.
