Photoshop CC 2019 Home Screen Changed

[Gerry5478]

Photoshop 20.0.4 - CC Photography Plan (20GB) Windows 10 64 bi?

My opening screen always showed my recent files.  However, yesterday when I opened Photoshop, something new had been added.  An "ad" taking up the top half of my screen.  It is titled "Put your projects into focus today.".  On the right it said "Enjoying this app?" and "Buy Now".

Buy what?  I'm already a happy plan member.  This "ad" is annoying and I can't figure out how to get rid of it!  Help?

I'm always blindly advancing as 'the cloud' sometimes makes changes without my knowledge, and the next thing you know I have a basket of new problems in my lap... There have been more problems and I highly recommend you stay as you are if you are happy.... You do not want to be where I am right now... Thanks Nancy.

Ken,

With each new version comes a new set of problems.  I'm the Outlier around here.  I stopped accepting automatic app updates and Notifications are turned off in my CC Desktop App. See screenshot.

When I do finally upgrade, I keep previous versions installed in case I ever need them.  The opportunity to get pre-2019 versions disappeared when Adobe changed their version policy last year. 

If you're running out of HD space, you can uninstall unwanted apps from the CC Desktop App.
