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.

    In our environment we were able to disable the prompts by updating Internet Properties in Control Panel. It has something to do with the Excel Macros. Go To Control Panel > Internet Properties > Security Tab > Trusted Sites > Sites >

    We added some of the locations where users obtain shared worksheets for SharePoint path; domain server mapped drive path.

    Select close > OK and reboot the computer.

    Yet another example of MICKEYsoft thinking they know more than the users of how they use the software. GET A CLUE AND LISTEN TO THE USERS!!!

    like other people here, I'm getting these notifications every morning since around a week, and I'm tired to have to close them every single morning.

    microsoft needs to change its policy vs its customers : send notifications only for ISSUES.

    for improvements concerning slow excel files, just provide web pages with info.
