I use the classic desktop in Win 8.1, but occasionally find myself in the tiled screen or Settings. When doing that during the last several days, I'm getting a "Switch between apps" box pop up on the edge of the desktop and can't get rid of it short of a reboot. Clicking on the arrow causes it to go back to the left and return to the original place. I posted on the MS Answers forum, but the "support engineer" said it's part of Win 8.1, there to be helpful and the arrow goes away when clicked on; i.e., she blew me off (that sort of help is all too common on MS Answers). Is there a way to get rid of it? Thanks,
