For the past 2 days, I've been getting an EXTREMELY annoying popup notification with small ding sound. This pops up about every 2 hours and disappears in 5 seconds. Impossible and just plain silly to not be able to read it. It does say something about thanks for being a customer and that smart hub collects data in some kind of way and that you can mess with settings in settings. I have never been able to read it as it leaves so fast. I just disconnected it from my network prior to posting this. Anyone knows what this is and most importantly, how to stop it?
I only hope that disconnecting it from my network will stop these messages but only thing I can find under privacy settings want me to agree to a bunch of check marks. I clicked none of them as I do not agree with their TOS for something that I rarely use. This TV is strictly as a monitor and have no antenna connected. I could completely disable smart hub as I may just have by disconnecting the network connection.
UPDATE EDIT: Taking the TV offline seemed to have fixed the issue but the loss of IP remote control via watch and home assistance is an annoying too. My plan is to Block the TV's mac address from any WAN (Wide Area Network) access via my router. I'll put it back on the network so that my home assistance setup still has access to it so I'll still have my remote control features but the TV and Samsung has no access to and can't make changes to my purchased and owned property. The TV is used as a monitor like I said so a dumb tv will be fine if I can't get it to work how I mentioned. I'll update if anyone even cares about that route.
UPDATE 2: I have since reconnected my TV back to the network and instantly saw the warning again. I then blocked WAN access of the TV via my router but it is connected to my LAN only. I then disconnected my phone offline to test and still have access to my Home Assistant features to the TV online as that is via a encrypted DDNS running through my own micro PC setup along with every other former cloud device I own. All controlled by me. Now Samsung can't break what they can't connect to.

It works as it did prior to all of this trash. Now Samsung can't break what they can't connect to even if I had auto-install updates off.
I have the exact same problem which seems to coincide with a recent upgrade. This is making me really look into getting a different brand ādumbā TV
Samsung seems to do everything they can think of to be annoying. Who thought it would be a good idea to repeatedly pop up a privacy notice. Probably the same one who thought doing the pixel refresh when you turn on the TV was a good idea.
Getting the same thing on my QN55. About 2 minutes after a hard reboot and then every 2 hours or so I get an annoying pop up reminding me the SmartHub privacy notice. There really needs to be a way to disable ALL notifications. Itās bad enough that the last update forces the awful Brightness Optimization setting at 14 on the SmartHub.
Same notifications. I checked all and it's still popping up. If anyone has a clue, please let us know. I'm already shopping for a different brand. Between this annoying notification and the constant connection sound (as if I'm connecting a new item)...š¤¬
This issue if not fixed will make me find a different brand. 100%. I'm ok with the little bell alert icon on the hub. I'm NOT ok with the popup. It makes me realize every 2 hrs or so that they are monitoring me. And I don't appreciate the invasion.
