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.

Correct answer kglad

copy and paste here a screenshot of the popup you're seeing.

The issue is with updates. If we want to keep our apps up-to-date, every time there is a new update, all the pop-ups reappear, and notification settings get reset. There should be an option to turn off the new feature pop-up. Even if you decline the intro videos and initial pop-ups, every time you click on a new tool group or save dialogue there are fresh pop-ups telling us about new features that we are not  trying to use.

 

It seems like Adobe is so proud of their AI work that it doesn't occur to them, that as creatives, the idea that their IA is going to learn from our work to put us out of business might not be a good thing.

i have acrobat, animate, photoshop and audition installed and have auto updates disabled.

 

i haven't noticed any popups other than a (non-intrusive) cc app popup in the corner of my display that updates are available when i restart my computer.

 

are you seeing something else?

All notifications are turned OFF. There is no selection to stop pop-ups in any application.
