Feature Tours and Tips pop up windows keep showing up even after selecting "Skip Tours"
Turn them off. So annoying and get in the way or work.
This one is clearly not resolved and we should all agree Illustrator doesn’t offer a bulletproof way to disable all the promotions and advertisements about new features. No matter how cool any new feature is, we should be able to never get popup messages, unless they directly relate to our own artwork.
Please share, comment, and upvote this, to inform the team about how important it really is.

If I wanted "tips" or "tutorials" I would look them up on YouTube. I don't need **** coming up in my WORK PRODUCT while I am WORKING.

I spend more time closing pop ups and menus, including redoing work when these cause the apps to crash, than doing work in them anymore.
They're always shut off in preferences/menus. Adobe always moves them around and resets them with every update.
I've been using these apps since the 1990s. I don't need tips. I use these apps in a bleeding edge way. I don't need constant ads telling me to use features WHILE I'M USING THEM.
I don't need my hammer to yell at me all day. I need it to hammer nails.

This is very annoying. For example when I want to select the star tool to make a star I go to click on the rectangle on the side bar. If I hesitate and hover for a second it always gives me an annoying popup trying to teach me how to use the rectangle tool. No thanks, go away.

These tours are SO IRRITATING. There are still HUGE PERSISTENT BUGS in this garbage software and yet you implement this useless garbage and AI features NOBODY ASKED FOR. I HATE ADOBE. Also why the **** is there a plug to post on X right next to the comment box? The mecha hitler app? The app I stopped using because last time I logged in I was greeted with a bizarre antisemetic conspiracy theory about the president of Mexico accompanied with a real photo of an actual severed head on top of a car? Y'all are SO LUCKY you don't have any real competition. Seriously. If you did I would never ever use your **** nazi garbage again.

I have seen the same blue warning message about discontinuing PMS colors over and over no matter how many times I dismiss. I've been using this software for 20 years. I don't need tips. I especially don't need tips multiple times. Can we have a one stop shop to turn off all of this stuff? They seem to get more intrusive with every update.

Not fixed. A grey popup appears constantly whenever I am ungrouping things to tell me about ungrouping. Nothing in preferences makes this go away and I see it repeatedly so closing it once doesn't work either. I really don't need training wheels and this should be one simple option to disable all large tooltips, blue popups and gray popups. There are already enough idiosyncrasies and distractions with Illustrator.
New idea from comment
This comment was upgraded into a new idea: Gray popup about Unpropping appears again and again -

Oh look my software is now completely useless and unusable because the text inside the box is gone and I can't remove the box. Need to click something behind the blue box? Sucks! How much do I pay per month for this **** again?

Seriously gets in the way of working. Thanks. The fact that im making the effort to send this proves my point of how obnoxious these new "help tuts" pop ups are. Please stop this invasive UX/UI

In the irritating mean time, I open the pop up and move it off screen so just the edge of it exists out of the way and leave it there. The next time I open Illustrator and click on what's new, it pops up out of the way and doesn't ask you again while it's open. Not a real fix but improves sanity levels.
