How do I disable advertising in Outlook 2019?

[JaxPlanet]

Specifically, there is a yellow banner advertising, "EXPERIENCE MICROSOFT 365 Keep your files safe, secure, and accessible with 1 TB of cloud storage. Try Microsoft 365. Start free trial"

Outlook 2019 with on-premise Exchange 2016 server.
Not using any Office 365 services.

Thank you in advance!

If you click the x on the right, does it go away but come back? That is supposed to kill it - but I'll see if there is a registry key to remove it.

Thank you for your response!

Unfortunately, the "X" will only close the advertisement until Microsoft decides to advertise something else. I was hoping by staying out of the cloud I could prevent this sort of intrusion. I also have over 100 computers that need this adware permanently disabled.

If you could find a registry fix, that would be fantastic and I can deploy it via group policy.

I will probably roll up my sleeves and dig into it when I do their checkup next week, if someone here can't find a way to fix it.

Thank you for your reply!
I don't have any advertisements/spam in the inbox so this does not apply the problem.

Here's how to turn it off: Either get rid of the Promotions tab or disable the new tabbed interface altogether. To get rid of the promotions tab, which auto-pulls in deals and marketing offers from your inbox, click on the plus "+" sign to the right of the tabs. Deselect the "Promotions" category.

Hope this information helps you.

Thanks,
Jesse

Where is the Promotions tab? Where is the plus sign?

Since no one seems to understand the problem. I am attaching a screenshot to this post.

The banner has now changed to saying "WORK ACROSS MULTIPLE DEVICES" and is also happening in Outlook 2016.

Bump

That can't be disable - I asked my contacts on the product team a few weeks ago. It should go away when you X it and stay gone.

The advertisement banner does not stay gone after pressing the X. It returns several days later with a different Microsoft advertisement as shown above.

This is a year old now with no resolution?

Why is MS sending ads through outlook without an option to disable? The company i work with has started getting an offer for outlook for personal use.

This needs to stop.

No solution yet.

Here's another bug to drive you nuts:
In Outlook 2019 start a new message and type the "@" symbol in the body. A search box will pop up directly over what you are typing so you can't see what you are doing.
