hi

@Charliew11  is it this one ?

Product number

can you take a screenshot and show it here?
because, normally it should not be annoying, that said if you do not need it, you can uninstall it
see on my computer

left click on the icon to expand/open then click on the screen to close
we can click on exit (Right click ) , to remove it completely here
