I appreciate the efforts you exerted to turn off the Seasonal Hiring Banner pop-up message, @finefinishesofpi.

Allow me to share some details about how advertisement, like Seasonal Hiring Banner, works in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

The marketing ads pop-up message is designed to promote helpful features that you can use in QBDT. However, we're unable to turn them off as of this time.

I understand how disturbing it can be when an advertisement suddenly pops up upon working in the program. In the meantime, you can consider clicking the X button to close the advertisement pop-up.

You can also visit our blog site so you'll be able to get the latest news about QuickBooks and what our Product Care Team is working on. 

Please continue to reach me here in the Community if you need more assistance with QuickBooks Desktop. I'll be sure to get back to you.
