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.

Many people have already sent feedback on the Feedback Portal. The gripe is something like this shouldn't have been implemented in the first place. The frustration with this issue is only in small part that no fix is available and no movement or official response from the dev team has been given. A lot of the frustration is the mindset and lack of voice of the customer that the dev team felt it was ok to build the notification in such a way that it can't be turned off. It shows a lack of attention to detail, and a lack of a robust QC process. I fosters a lack of trust that MICROSOFT with some of the deepest pocket available and a flagship program as ubiquitous as EXCEL used by professionals globally can't pay the right engineers and coders enough money to get the job done right. Everyone uses excel to some degree and as such one would think they would want to do it right.
That's why this response does not answer the question. Because it is lacking any substance for an issue vocalized by many people.
I am waiting for the first company to sue Microsoft over loss of data due to their "optimisation". Perhaps they will start to listen at that point as, so far, we have not heard anything back.
AGREED - REDICULOUS
I don't have a support team. I have my OWN copy. How do I raise a ticket?
