How the hell do I get outlook to stop nagging me with these unwanted tips, tricks and overall harassment?! Every time I go to a new computer I have to deal with this **** again and again and again and again and again! I am sick and tired of it. If there was something I wanted to do and didn't know how to, I would research it. I don't want to be bothered with "here is how you can respond with emojis", "here is how you can prioritize your emails", "here is another useless tip that you'll never use", "here is another, and another and another". I want this **** turned off permanently, how the hell do I kill this nagware?!

    Hi Eric

    Thank you for the response

    How about trying to uncheck this "Show Focused Inbox" for the "Organize your inbox" to stop showing up

    Dear Eric

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

    I understand how frustrating this can be, and I appreciate your patience as we work through a solution. Here are a few steps you can try: 

    1. Disable ScreenTips:
    • Open Outlook and go to File > Options.
    • Click the General tab.
    • Look for User Interface options and set ScreenTips to "Don't show ScreenTips". 
    1. Turn off MailTips (if those are bothering you):
    • Go to File > Options > Mail.
    • Find MailTips options and choose Never display MailTips

    Please give it a try let me know if the issue is resolved.

    If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

    Best regards,
