@MissB Yes, it's the same in the 2.8x preferences as well. Just uncheck the option and you won't have to worry about it going forward. Keep in mind that some .blend files are intentionally shared with a custom UI in place so that instructions or warnings about how the file was made can be displayed upfront, but as long as that isn't a concern, it's better to keep that option turned off.
