Remove Focus Sessions from Clock App

Even with all focus assist settings and automatic rules turned off, every time I pull up the clock app to set a timer it starts on the Focus Sessions tool.

Is there a way to completely turn off this feature, or do I just need to get a clock app from a 3rd party?

    Well here's another person that's bothered by Focus Session :).

    The default starting screen of the Clock app should not be Focus Session. It also should not be on the top of the sidebar. There's no reason for it to be at the top other than Microsoft trying to push a new feature on users. I know you're just an independent advisor but you definitely have more influence on Microsoft than us. Please convey that this is unacceptable.

    I'm probably going to just disable the Clock app completely at this point.

    Well, as of now, July 29 at 4:30 pm Central time, the timer seems to be working without bringing up the Focus Assist screen. So thanks to all who "chimed in" with feedback and thanks to whomever at Microsoft that (I hope) got this change made!
