[Feature]: `Update-AzConfig` option to hide announcements

[o-l-a-v]

Description of the new feature

I have multiple sources for staying up to date on Azure PowerShell news and announcements, I'd like to be able to choose my own information channels.

The proposed workaround of Connect-AzAccount -InformationAction Ignore (ref: https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell/issues/25003#issuecomment-2148750350) does not work if -UseDeviceAuthentication.

• 25003

Proposed implementation details (optional)

Implement an option to hide announcements with Update-AzConfig that all Az modules/cmdlets would respect.

Update-AzConfig -DisplayAccouncements <$true/$false>

This announcements are annoying AF!

Update-AzConfig -LoginExperienceV2 Off does not work.

The -InformationAction Ignore works.

But do you guys familiar with the Single Responsibility Principle and Separation of Concerns???

Use NEWSLETTERS for announcements, or other communication channels, outside of Operations!

Thanks for the suggestion - we've fixed the issue that the announcements were displayed during non-interactive login. Please update to Az.Accounts (>= 3.0.1) or Az (>= 12.1.0) to get the fix. Now it gets displayed only in these login flows:

• Browser-based
• WAM-based
• Device code

That's great @isra-fel, but the feature requested is to add the ability to disable announcements all together, so please don't close unless you won't fix.
