Question Make the Suggestions Stop!

In Office, does anyone know how to make these pop up helper messages go away and never come back? I've tried looking it up myself but it's been tricky because A: I don't know what exactly they are called, and MS has like 3 different flavors of annoying pop-ups/overlays/banners telling you about nonsense and B: most of the results I got were for Office365 Online, which I do not use by default.

Take the version of office and Google registry hacks together. it could possibly be in gpedit as well for policies.

I should point out that this is on a work computer so using gpedit is frowned upon.

work computer

That limits the options then.

Guess those are screentips or tooltips? There are a bunch of options for screentips in office 365. What version are you using?

Office 365 for Enterprise and I have tooltips turned off. But I'm now seeing that ScreenTips are on even though I thought I had turned them off. Since this isn't something that pops up every day, I guess I'll just have to wait and see if I get another pop-up telling me about features I already know. "Click this B to make text bold"
