How to disable top bar for closing apps in windows 8.1 update 1?

Really? This question again? So many people have asked the same question in previous pages? Do you have a really short term memory or are just too hooked to your point that you like going in cycles even if it's not leading anyone anywhere.

You just sound too arrogant to understand someone's experience. I have a yoga which also has a touchscreen. But I find myself using the mouse most of the time because the modern interface is super mouse friendly. People complained because they probably need time to get used to it not that the interface was difficult to navigate to using a mouse. 

The black bar interrupts the clean interface, conflicts with apps that rely on using that area. Fine! Provide if people need some thing like that. But don't impose something as hideous and roughly designed as that on all windows users without an option to disable it. That is all everyone here is asking for, only if you can spare your mind from being arrogant.

Gee thanks Drew! so glad your entertained tonight!

BTW I am sure the app bar can be disabled even if you have to tweak the code or system registry I am very sure there is a way! Now I just need to find the guy or gal that knows how, you obviously don't have a clue! they are out there somewhere!! But thanks again!!  Scott

Ok, I was just trying to get you, for my enlightenment & understanding, to nicely explain the bother it is when & since it disappears.  Plus, seems you misunderstood what I said regarding the precise part.  I said one can be less precise by just clicking in the other corner than looking for the 'x'.

But, ok, here's the direct, to the point answer... the Exit Bar cannot be disabled.

Cheers,

Drew
