Yeah Lacerte 2024 has become a buggy, sluggish, popup laden mess this year. Those hosting/marketing popups are the worst as often they don't even load fully to where you can close them much less an option to check a "not interested, leave me alone, I have work to get done" box. 

If you can see a button labeled Learn More you can try clicking it, then a larger window will open with a "cancel" button down towards the bottom. Otherwise you may have to risk closing the program out "dirty" from the task manager...do that at your own risk with good backups in place.

Seems the intuit marketing folks versus financial software pros are in charge of Lacerte 2024 programming this year. 2024 loads and runs like a dog due to all the popup nonsense getting in the way not helping. It sure would be nice if they'd knock it off and focus on the "efficiency" they like to hype up which is a word that doesn't belong in the same sentence with Lacerte this year. If we can get through this tax season we are going to take another look at Drake's lacerte conversion and if they are doing better....I suspect that after two decades we'll be ditching Lacerte. It's become an office joke this year.
