If you disconnect from the remote screen with the banner it does close. It is still very irritating when you are projecting because of the way it comes down any time you get near it.
Remove Wireless Projection Banner from Desktop screen
is it possible remove the new "Wireless Projection Banner" introduced in 1809 or at the very least move it so that it does pop-up every time I touch a tab in my browser?

2019-04-26T17:01:33+00:00 My problem is that the banner doesn't go away when the remote screen is disconnected. It exists, but all options are greyed out. How do I close it? I don't mind it there when it's connected because I can "unpin" it.
Oh my goodness - same with me! Even if I'm the one who disconnected, the banner sits there. The double-vertical bar on the left of the bar makes me think I can drag it but that does nothing. Options and pin are greyed out, I can only click reconnect.
Why won't this bar go away?

Reboot after you change the name. Worked for me!!!!! SOOOOO happy. That was the dumbest thing ever. Completely useless and super annoying!

2019-04-05T04:46:57+00:00 i think StevenLinke was asking about an earlier post with a more permanent "fix."
(Ivan Ferrer)
I SOLVED it by renaming a file in c:\Windows\System32 named Windows.Internal.PlatformExtension.MiracastBannerExperience.dll
I've had to change the owner of the file from its Properties->Security->Advanced options->then at the top change the owner, next give permissions to Administrators users, and change the file extension to .old.
I've had to reboot for this lovely hack to take effect. I connected again to my Samsung wireless TV and no more stupid banner.
(first Ivan, your English is just fine. no need to apologize.) :)
second though, i'm with Steven. i found the file, opened its Properties dialog, clicked the Security tab, then the Advanced Options button, then next to the owner clicked "change"...and that's where it fell apart. i'm fairly proficient with these sorts of things despite my lack of any formal training, but this bit is not at all intuitive and i haven't a clue what i need to do from here, to change the owner, and i don't want to accidentally lock myself out, brick my computer, send the launch codes to all the nukes in the world and blow up Mars.....lol.
screenshots of my path in case i took a wrong turn somewhere...(interesting thing though, notice that file creation date in September, even though it wasn't written to my computer until December...interesting.....grr):
aaand that's where i get stuck. lol.
