Why EXPLORE SPLUNK window always stays open?

[verbal_666]

From 8.2.x, i get always the window for EXPLORE SPLUNK ENTERPRISE always open, also if i CLOSE it.

In previous version (7+), when i closed it in Launcher app, instance set it as closed until i re-opened it. From 8.2.x it opens everytime i open my UI, also if i previously click the close button and "make it to sleep", hiding it.

Any helps?

The issue is that in Splunk Enterpries 8.2.12 "ui-pref.conf" is not used anymore!!! 🙄 ... and for our users this is a big problem!!!
