Can we all agree that this is the most annoying, least thought out implementation of a ‘feature’ Photoshop has had for a long time? It’s like an annoying mattress salesman that follows you around the store and doesn’t let you have 2-seconds to yourself without asking ‘need anything? any questions’?

Not all of us agree, but you can turn off the Contextual Task Bar in the Window menu. See the answer from Ged, which is marked Correct, for a screenshot.

It is super annoying! Between that and the stupid tool tips, I feel like I'm on a bad website with too many pop ups every time I try to work on a project. Abobe, if you're reading this, please stop trying to be helpful.

Yes, I am aware and I have done that. However, every time I update my software, I have to reset my preferences. Turning these features off is not consistent between all the Creative Suite programs, so I have to poke around and try to remember (or google) how I did it last time. I wish Adobe would put the preference in the same place across all their programs. It's probably not possible, but it would be amazing if users could manage their preferences in the cloud and have them apply automatically across all programs and with each update.

It is photoshop, through some update it enabled it. Very frustrating.
It did take me 20 min before I found that I can turn it off by clicking on the three dots and hide the bar. No idea where it gets enabled or disabled outside of that, but it is gone now. I was searching in all kind of settings to see if it was something that could be ticked on or off, but did not find anything.

This function should, like any photoshop tab, have the option to right click, reveal an option to close it, or get a pop up menu. I don't find it user friendly at all.

Also I did not know where else to ask, I rarely post or ask things, so sorry if i posted it somewhere it shouldn't be.
