How do I hide or get rid of the "learn" panel on the upper right corner (the bulb light)?

This icon keeps glowing even when I hide the whole bar, I keep looking for options to disable it but haven’t been lucky

    Enable "quiet mode" in preferences, that will stop all notifications inside Photoshop.

    it is insane people have to open threads to get rid of this shit. It overrides the index of the notification of my mac too. I don’t see why i keep bothering paying for this crap

    @john5EB8 sorry to hear that you have this issue. I never had this issue on my Mac. But, it a simple fix anyways in the Illustrator preferences as shown in the comments

    I noticed this 5 months ago and even made a video because it's a real bug. It even stays on top of other Finder windows, and nothing has changed. This has been a problem since version 27. Today I did a clean install because I formatted my Mac, and to my surprise, even with "Enable 'quiet mode' in preferences," everything remains the same!

    Same here! I’ve been having this problem for a while now and quiet mode doesn’t fix it.

    @On No, Not You Again Go to your Preferences, Command K (MAC) or Control K (PC). You can turn them all off if you want. I didn’t because I don’t have the same issues as you, granted, I am on a MAC

    @Green_Warlock so, I have opened my Photoshop 27.3 (PC)
     


    If I look at my workspace, I am on Essentials. Have you updated to the latest version of PS?

    Hi, I’m also on the PS 27.3 Version, even switching the Workspace didn’t change those icons
    I’ll stick to Quiet Mode and keep on the look for that blue circle

    Hey ​@Green_Warlock 

    Could you let us know which version of Photoshop you’re using? The icon shouldn’t have that blue circle around it all the time. When you get a chance, try clicking it and activating Workspace Map, then deactivate it again to see if that clears the circle.
    Thanks a bunch!

    Hi, I’m on the PS 27.3 Version
    I didn’t took screenshot but I’m pretty sure I saw it too on the Home Screen
    I’ll stick to Quiet Mode for a while, let’s see if it appears again
