Persistent Blinking Blue Circle on “Starter Tutorials” After Photoshop 26.10.0 Update (macOS)

Question

Hello, I have a question. Since updating Photoshop to version 26.10.0, I’ve noticed a software bug. The “Starter Tutorials” feature in the top right corner is permanently active and surrounded by a blinking blue circle. It cannot be closed or disabled.

When minimizing Photoshop (on the latest macOS version), the blue circle also appears in the Dock next to Photoshop itself, as if it were a separate application. This is quite annoying, as it also makes the program slower to minimize.

Does anyone know a solution for this issue, or is there a way to completely disable it?

Best regards,
Patrick

@patrickp28802797 not sure if this will help, but try enabling this option in preferences and restarting Photoshop

If that doesn't help, try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset
