Before making any change, create a full backup of your site: (files and database).
There are two ways to disable it:
Easy:
1. Adding this function to the functions.php file:
function disable_gutenberg_tips() {
$script = "
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var is_tip_visible = wp.data.select( 'core/nux' ).areTipsEnabled()
if (is_tip_visible) {
wp.data.dispatch( 'core/nux' ).disableTips();
}
});
";
wp_add_inline_script( 'wp-blocks', $script );
}
add_action( 'enqueue_block_editor_assets', 'disable_gutenberg_tips' );

2. There’s also this interesting thread:

I am sometimes afraid to apply code that I do not understand, so that I do not mess things up.
In this regard, I was hoping there will be a simple click-and-disable method by which we can disable that modal?
In the absence of any such click-and-disable method, is there no further consequence to using this code?
I mean that, would something else not be negatively affected when I apply this code? Would I not find out that certain other things like important dependencies dependent on this modal have also stopped working?

I created a plugin for this. https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-welcome-messages-and-tips/
Just enable it and you won’t get the messages again.
