Temporarily disable Viva Connections First Run Experience in the Desktop experience

Currently, when users log into Viva Connections from the rich Teams desktop client or Teams web client, they are presented with a multi-panel first run experience informing them about Viva Connections and its features.  We have discovered instances where a user might see this experience repeatedly, even if they had seen it before.  

The team is hence disabling this experience from the Viva Connections app for desktop users only while we improve this experience.  We will re-enable it in the future and will communicate when it is ready again.
