Dismiss "Time To Update" banner

I'm getting the banner:



And it is literally hovering over the Actions panel that I need to get to.



I would love to update, but the update is "Not Compatible" with my system according to the creative cloud installer. Regular Photoshop (non beta) is also not compatible, and I can't go back to a version without generative fill because I already used it in many of my active projects (you lose the ability to switch between generations if you open your psd in an older version), and I use generative fill so often that I just can't go backwards.

How do I dismiss or hide this banner?

You do realize that you are violating the license terms now?

If making a silly popup disappear on my computer (an action which neither hurts or affects ANYONE btw) causes Adobe to stop taking my $700 a year then I guess you'll have the last laugh.

Maybe you are missing the point. Using a beta past the time when its licensed isn't just making a "silly popup" disappear. But you do you, bro. Just don't complain when your computer gets pwned by hackers because you didn't install security fixes.

Again, thanks to those who took the time to reply but "you need to be on a different version" is not the question I asked. I asked how to get rid of the popup.

As a side note, this new Windows version requirement seems awfully arbitrary given that the beta of v25 works just fine on older Windows builds but the release version does not.

Unfortunately you haven't given us any information about your system. Therefore, all proposed solutions are a look into the crystal ball.

 

Please give us more informations about your system including the following:

  • Operating system and version number
  • Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; the amount of RAM; etc

 

Is your system up-to-date? Do you have installed all recent updates and patches for the operating system and the device drivers, especially the graphic driver. If you have a NVidia graphic card installed, make sure that you are using the recent Studio version of the driver, not the Game Ready version.

 

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

Everything is up to date except for Windows, I'm on Windows 10.0.19042, which is below the minimum requirements for Photoshop 25. Any version above this breaks compatibility with the drivers for my legacy large-format-vinyl printer. 

I don't need to install a new version, I just need to know how to get rid of that banner so I can get my work done today.

Then uninstall the beta. Having an out of date beta installed makes no sense. The whole purpose of a beta is so that users can report on the latest features.
