The new Discover panel is a total nuisance. It pops up in front of my work all the time. If I close it, it just jumps back up. How do I disable it?

    Has Adobe answered the question on how to disable this screen?  I started getting this today after the update. Upon turning several settings which would be remotley connected with this screen. I finally Reset the Preferences file. Upon initial automated start up all was good. Launch went back to normal. However, after shutting down and re-opening it has returned.

      Has anyone actually found a solution to this? I tried changing the keyboard shortcuts but the option to change the Search shortcut no longer exists in 29.5.1

      I've tried going back to version 28.0 and that shuts down anyopen document everytime I press Space. Definately not the kyboard. I've tried other ones.

        Really annoying indeed. We are pros, no need for constant suggestions, specially via - quite frankly ugly - pop up. Adobe, please listen.

            Hi @Hakan Lindgren do you mean the actual discover panel or the smaller tool tips that pop up when you hover over a tool?

            The Discover panel should close permanently until you either choose it from the Help menu or if you have a shortcut assigned to something in that menu.

            I mean the big Discover panel that started popping up after the latest update of Photoshop. When I close it, it just jumps back after a few moments. I want to disable it once and for all. How do I do this?

              I have the same issue when working on my laptop instead of plugging into a keyboard. I'd like to disable the discover panel or change the shortcut if possible?
