I want to disable Excel 365 performance improvement auto-nags

Let's skip back to How to stop Excel from automatically checking Workbook performance? - Microsoft Community

This is about repetitive screen clutter, it doesn't need to be there so let's switch it off. I'll point out that contract worker such as myself have no scope to change the settings of the working models of companies we work at. So on a daily basis we have to clean away screen trash which is electronically generated by a Microsoft product. Screen space is always at a premium.

Now the answers on the above link completely skip around the issue - if anything they misunderstand what the questioner is driving at. As another person irritated by intrusive - let's call it feature creep (harsher words could be used) - I'm bemused that increasing product complexity isn't accompanied by ways to clean things up by eg turning off nags.

The issue hasn't gone away. It isn't solved. And yes - just to be clear - I'm perfectly able to redesign spreadsheets to make them more efficient and limit bloat - and I do this if it's in my remit.

I'm also aware that answers can be phrased to close down issues that aren't going to be fixed.

    Really!! It seems strange that this just started after Microsoft office update Oct 2024. I have been running the same Excel 365 for years and with the same templates, and it only does it to some, and now this comes up and your telling me I can't disable.

    what a stupid function it is!

    Unfortunately, there is no way to disable these notifications. The only way is to dismiss the notifications.

    You may send feedback on Feedback Portal. Hope Product team will add such option in the near future.

    Likely not happening as Microsoft hasn't done anything about it even with this thread being up for a long time.

    Microsoft does not care what their customers want. They've made that abundantly clear with their product rollouts.
