How Do I Turn Off That Annoying Tour Window?

I have looked everywhere in the Preferences, but I cannot locate that horribly annoying Tour window that covers my work whenever I use Illustrator. Can someone show me how to turn it off (no, it's not the Welcome Screen...)?

    This issue is listed as 'fixed' in version 25.4:

    If you have updated and are still experiencing it or something similar, it may be worth posting on the uservoice link in that page to give details, or alerting Srishti here.

        Srishi,

        It's still a problem. I just started a new job and I'm trying to set up my AI workspace. The blue box is really killing my productivity. Please help!

          Yeah -- its the most annoying workflow killer in my opinion.

          Illustrator I think I just had to use it then close it cleanly and it remembered I had already seen their new video pop up tour guide stuff... it stuck for a couple sessions.
          ...maybe just reboot if your adobe illustrator is leaving the pop ups

          In photoshop it is this... (wish they kept it the same in AI)
