I use QB Prem 2020 with latest updates.

I have that special offers block at the bottom of the navigation bar and I don't wan't it there. I would like to use the navigation bar for my favorites and windows.

The same special offers are also available on the top under the Special Offers pull-down. I don't mind having it there.

It looks like this is something permanent or is there an option to remove it?

These notices may also serve as a helpful reminder. But to remove this, you can follow the steps below.

  1. Open your QuickBooks and go to Edit menu.
  2. Select Preferences.
  3. Then choose General on the left-side panel.
  4. Click the My Preferences folder.
  5. Check the box next to Turn off popup messages for products and services.
  6. Once done, click OK.

Once done, restart QuickBooks for the change to take effect.

I did what you suggested, restarted QB, but those special offers are still on my navigation bar.

I myself don't want to see pop-ups ads when I'm using an QuickBooks service I'm paying, gerdgoebel.  

 

To turn off the promotion displayed in QuickBooks, let’s configure the General set up in your company file. With just a few clicks, you can simply perform the process. 

 

Here's how to turn off product and service pop-up:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks and go to Edit menu. 
  2. Select Preferences
  3. Then choose General on the left-side panel. 
  4. Click the My Preferences. 
  5. Check the box next to Turn off popup messages for products and services
  6. Once done, click OK.  

 

 

 

 

Then restart QuickBooks for this change to take effect.

It is sure looking like Intuit has hired 3rd graders to program Desktop now ... there are so many issues

that are simply the marketing and program developers' fault ... I would certainly not hire any of these ...

Are you intentionally breaking Desktop to push more people to even a worse QBO ???

The Discovery Hub needs to go !!! and ALL your annoying pop up promo messages ...
