How Do I Turn Off All of the Many Tip Windows in Quickbooks Online?

Every time I log into my QBO account, many pages have "helpful" tip windows that pop up. I have been using QBO for many years, so I don't need a tour of my chart of accounts, I don't need an introduction to reconciling an account, I don't need to learn again how QuickBooks Online Accountant can help me run my practice, I don't need to "be in the know" and see all my clients' payroll info in one screen, I already "know it takes time to get used to new stuff" and don't need to watch Stuart, your reconciliation guy. And on and on and on. 

 

Yes, I know, I can click the X on all of these helpful tips. And I'm sure that I loved them when I was new to QBO (if they were even a part of it back then). But given that I log into QBO several times--sometimes numerous times--over the course of a day, that is an awful lot of annoying and unnecessary clicking. And it is majorly annoying when a box stays open when I move to another page, where it is no longer relevant. And yes, I know that sometimes I can just ignore it and it will go away on its own, but in the meantime it takes up valuable screen real estate.

 

And I certainly don't need an empty window popping up every time I log in (see image). I've no idea what that's about.

 

Please don't tell me that the solution is to change browser settings that will make my browser less secure. I use my browser for things other than QBO, and there is too much nasty stuff out there that I need all the security I can get, while remaining vigilant about what I'm clicking.

 

What can I do?

 

Thanks!!!
