How to disable Tool Instruction text tips

New Here ,
Feb 23, 2025 Feb 23, 2025

Hi crew, 

As Adobe continues to dumb down our software it feels the need to provide instriuctions on how to use things like The Pointer tool. Does anyone know how to remove this completely redundant feature for those of use who've been using the software since its inception and that this whole space is just taking up screen realestate? 
It's NOT turning off Tool Tips or Rich Tool Tips in prefs, it's frustratingly hidden in another locaiton called something else other than the thing that all the other useless tips are?
Many thanks

OMG! I can't believe it was that easy (albeit utterly illogical). Thankyou so much @Ton Frederiks

Sorry about this but I dont know what "Uncheck Winodow > Help Bar" means. Where do I find the words "Uncheck Menu"?  I litterally typed "Uncheck Menu" in the help bar and got nothing. Yes, I know I'm an idiot but can you walk me through it from the very begining. What is the first thing, or menu, or tile that I click on?

Select Window > Help Bar. This will take away the check mark.
