How Do I Turn Off That Annoying Tour Window?

I have looked everywhere in the Preferences, but I cannot locate that horribly annoying Tour window that covers my work whenever I use Illustrator. Can someone show me how to turn it off (no, it's not the Welcome Screen...)?

    Correct answer Doug A Roberts

    This issue is listed as 'fixed' in version 25.4:

    If you have updated and are still experiencing it or something similar, it may be worth posting on the uservoice link in that page to give details, or alerting Srishti here.

    Hi TMacFarlane,

    You can turn off Tool Tips by going to Illustrator Preferences > Uncheck Show Tool Tips:

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

      I have it turned off and I still get this very very VERY annoying window. Hitting skip tour doesn't help.

        Yes, me too. And Adobe appears to be pretending this bug is not by design.

          Yeah -- its the most annoying workflow killer in my opinion.

          Illustrator I think I just had to use it then close it cleanly and it remembered I had already seen their new video pop up tour guide stuff... it stuck for a couple sessions.
          ...maybe just reboot if your adobe illustrator is leaving the pop ups

          In photoshop it is this... (wish they kept it the same in AI)
