Ads in Adobe software - sick and tired of interruptions

[CBecker]

Hi All,

I like helping on the forums but it takes a lot for me to get on the forums to ask for help or complain so I apologize - but I'm very annoyed with the increasing ads and popups when I'm working in my Adobe tools. I've purchased and have been paying for the full-price Creative Cloud software for many years now and I have been getting increasing amounts of ads or "helpful resources" from Adobe. I have to close these popups or dialogue boxes before I can continue working. Since we are professionals and paying full-price, I feel that we should not have our work interrupted by these kinds of messages. Let us find these "helpful" tidbits when we go on the website or perhaps in the opening screen (only) or somewhere that doesn't interrupt our work. Come on Adobe, work with us. Or, is there some button or setting that I can apply that will disable these kinds of things and I'm just missing it? If anyone else out there feels the same, please join your voice with mine so we can make a change.

Thanks so much!

Chris

Hi Chris,

I apologize for the experience.

Are you seeing these ads poping over the applications or on the desktop application?

They have been appearing in the Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop desktop interfaces in Windows 10. If another pops up, I'll screengrab and send / attach here.

Are you being nagged by messages about Features?

In Photoshop CC, go to Edit > Preferences > General Tab.  Turn off Show Messages.

You can also turn off the Welcome Screen or Start Workspace which might be another source of annoyance.

Thanks Nancy. I do see those and those are helpful but I've received messages like get stock photos now at Adobe Stock. And other ads and not really program helpful items. I'll attach a screenshot if I ever get one.

When I first installed, I would get Adobe Stock  reminders, too.  But they stopped.  I have not seen one in my desktop software for quite some time.  Maybe because I have not updated to the latest dot releases yet.  

If I find any more switches, I'll let you know.
