there's a lightbulb icon that keeps giving tips even when photoshop is in the background

it floats above all windows even if photoshop is hidden, how do i kill this feature dead, it brings up the discovery panel if you click it,

can't see any new settings to deal with this new annoyance

I have this problem too but don't have that option on my photoshop?

 

The glow highlight is really annoying and is displayed over all windows even when photoshop is hidden.
