It may seem counterintuitive, but too many popups, tooltips, start screens, etc. etc. etc...actually slowdown the productivity and don't really help all that much and are quite annoying.

If there is a way to disable all of them for good, that would be great!

(my 2 cents is to have video tutorials "if" needed)

Thanks

Most of what you mentioned can be deselected in the General section of the Illustrator preferences. In addition to the highlighted options in the screen shot you might find that using the legacy "File New"  Interface also will simplify things. Quit the program after you do it and it should become your default.

Thank you Bill for your kind reply.

I tried it and now (since a new update) something happened when I try to open a new document, a black pop-up screen come up and I can't do anything. Now my workaround is to open an old document and work from there...BTW the bubbles still appear and they are all black inside

I hope they go away with the new update.

It is really nuts that we cannot turn off the pop-ups for "features". They just get in the way ALL THE TIME. So annoying. UGH!

It is untrue that feature pop-ups only happen 3 times. I've gotten them over 100 times. Sometimes they appear offscreen where I cannot interact with them and I have to restart my system. This is crippling my productivity. (Library features)
