"Switch between apps" pop-up won't go away.

[t2000kw]

I can't seem to get rid of the "switch between aps" popup on  theLH side of desktop. It just seems to be stuck there, ovbscuring anything underneath it. How do I disable this very unhelpful help app?

Thanks!!!

Although I strive to reflect HP's best practices, I do not work for HP.

Thanks for the information. I had to restart anyway for an HP update and the problem went away. I don't expect that it will stay away, though, so I bookmarked the post you referenced as it seems to be one way to prevent it from happening again if I don't want any help tips at all. Since I"m new to Windows 8 (and would have preferred to wait for the next Windows version), I'll leave it be for now. I might actually get a useful help tip, who knows? 🙂
