How do I get rid of the pop up tip boxes in Windows 8.1?

I have the same thing.  No touch screen, but windows 8.1 acts as if I can touch away the pop up.  I did get rid of it (for now) by moving my mouse to the top left of the screen and clicking to go to the last app I had open.

I had the same thing happen. I swiped the arrow all the way to the right and it disappeared. So fsr it hsasn't  reappeared.

Hi Shelley,

Further description: Go to P C settings, click on PC and devices, go to corners and edges, at the top, you will see app switching, click to off.  That's how I got rid of mine, no problem since.  Hope this helps

PRESS WINDOWS BUTTON AND TAB BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME, WORKED FOR ME!

I think that at least some of you can't get rid of the window because you disabled the charms. Well, at least that's what I did. Anyway, pressing Windows+Tab solved the problem for me.

And yeah, way to go Microsoft, keep on sucking with Win 8.

Regards, someone who never felt the need to check out other os's on the desktop before Windows 8.

Yes, this worked for me, windows button and tab button at the same time, thanks
