Eliminate 2026 start page InDesign

[Jimmy d]

Was just upgraded recently to InDesign 2026. How do I get rid of the new start page?

Because of this page I cannot make changes as you could previously by setting preferences before you open a new file. Also it does not even show letter paper as an option. I want to get rid of this annoying feature.

Letter Size Page is the very first thing shown.
