Annoying pop-up directions on all tools in Illustrator

I ask the community to back my petition to the Adobe Illustrator creators for excluding or getting rid of the annoying pop-up explanations on how to use the tools in Illustrator. This help is extremly unpleasant and irritating while working, they pop up and linger like forever and when you need to focus they are just distracting. Could you please get rid of them? Or maybe tell me how to disactivate them if there is an option I am not aware of?

Thank you!

Show Rich Tool tips option is not available and grayed out.

Hello ​@Oscar Ovalle Robles 

 

Thanks for reaching out. The Show Rich Tool Tips option is only enabled if the Show Tool Tips option is enabled. Would you mind sharing more details about the exact message/banner you’re trying to dismiss (if any), so we can better assist you?

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.
