    1. Press "WIN+R" key combination to launch RUN dialog box then type 'regedit' and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor and go to following key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\

    2. Under ImmersiveShell key, create a new key EdgeUI.

    3. Now select newly created key "EdgeUI" and in right-side pane, create a new DWORD DisableCharmsHint and set its value to 1

    4. You'll not need to log off or restart the system.

    It's the "Charm" bar. Make sure your on Windows 8.1 and have all the updates then try this. Should work but I have not tried it as the charms don't bother me, hope it helps
