    Here is the MS propaganda for the feature

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-professional-slide-layouts-with-powerpoint-designer-53c77d7b-dc40-45c2-b684-81415eac0617 

    .

    It says

    <snip>

    The first time you try out PowerPoint Designer, it may ask your permission to get design ideas for you. If you want to use Designer, select Turn on.

    </snip>

    So look on the ribbon for an option to turn it off

    .

    This page https://presentationgeeks.com/blog/powerpoint-designs/ Shows hot to turn the feature off

    <snip>

    If you can’t find or select the PowerPoint designer, you will need to turn the “design ideas button” on. To do this you will need to select File > Options, and in General, select Automatically show me design ideas in the PowerPoint designer section and check the box. You will notice there are two checkboxes in this section. image

    The first checkbox is “Automatically show me design ideas”. Where you can ask for design suggestions at any time, select “design ideas” in the Design tab” and the second checkbox is ” Automatically show me design suggestions when I create a new presentation”.

    Hi,

    Sorry for the inconvenience the problem caused for you.

    Based on your description, you want to disable "Design Ideas" window in PowerPoint, you can turn Design Ideas off using PowerPoint Options:

    1. Click the File tab in the Ribbon. The Options dialog box appears.
    2. Click General in the categories on the left.
    3. In the right pane, uncheck Automatically show me design ideas and Automatically show me suggestions when I create a new presentation.
    4. Click OK.

     If the problem persists, please feel free to post back.

    Best regards,

    Jazlyn
