Turn off Featured Apps in 6.8.0
Version 6.8.0 forces Featured Apps to drop down and display. How do I turn that off? Don't want to see it!!!

The Anti-Featured-Apps app? Nice. :robotlol:

I'm avoiding 6.8.0 until the app installation bug is clarified and/or fixed. I'm not getting stuck being unable to upgrade existing apps for which updates arne't available through the app store.
I agree that it would be annoying to have "featured" apps forced upon us. Frankly, the app store has been kind of a dead thing for quite a while. I thought they were just undoing it. But even if not, it shoud be something we CAN go browse, not be forced to.

Hello TomBlack,
Do you mean on admin page's System > Overview? The Featured Apps has arrow pointing right that when you click it will point down and show the apps. I am using RN312 with official release 6.8.0 and that seems to work.
Have you tried on another web browser?

I tried adjusting the arrow to not show the list and it will not stick for the next admin session. I guess that is my main beef is that turning it off will not stick, then I don't have to see it ever.

Hello TomBlack,
Have you tried the using another web browser and rebooting the NAS?
Regards,
- TomBlackAug 18, 2017Guide
I did reboot/restart the NAS.
I only run IE11 on Win10. This has NEVER been an issue prior to 6.8.0, so Netgear needs to fix the software and allow the users to turn this off.
Thanks
