Why does Illustrator 2025 open with a bird image each time?

[Clare5ED0]

How can I stop this opening each time I start up the new Illustrator?- Quite annoying!

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

When you launch, do you first see the what is new screen? If so, you might quickly click through those and then that might disappear. That is what happened for me.
