Remove Wireless Projection Banner from Desktop screen

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you want to remove the Wireless Projection Banner from the screen as it keeps popping when you open a browser. May I know, if the PC is still connected to the wireless display when you are using the PC?

Also, you can try clicking on the PIN icon next to the Settings icon on the banner to unpin it.

However, as per the section Wireless projection experience in the article what's new in Windows 10, version 1809, the banner is designed similar to remote desktop connection where it will be removed when the wireless display is disconnected.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

You cant be serious. Get rid of the banner, you couldnt have paid someone to come up with that stupid idea. Worse cant be moved from the top of screen the same place your internet broswer menu and tabs are. Instead of worrying about identity politics and PC **** work on the thing your paid for making Windows work correctly. If the banner doest go l will to Apple. Inbeciles

the banner can be "unpinned" but that only hides it, not closes it; it still pops up with mouseover and there is no "close" option.  it can be slid left or right but not moved to another part of the screen, unlike the taskbar.  it's wider (left-to-right) than half the screen, so no matter what the center-top of the screen is blocked when the banner is visible.  it displays over what's behind it, rather than displacing items like the taskbar does.  it's wider (top-to-bottom) than the row of tabs in every browser i've tried, so even if it's unpinned it's far too easy to accidentally show it, blocking tabs or anything else underneath it - i've nearly disconnected accidentally multiple times as a result, and once actually did accidentally disconnect.  in the last week or so the settings icon on the banner became greyed out as well (???).  i have scoured Windows and the internet for a way to disable or remove the feature, but can find none.

i did discover a few hours ago, however, that when i leave the wireless display (in my case, a television) connected for more than 24 hours, the banner disappears - no pop-out, nothing.  i'd had my display connected for about 48 hours by the time i noticed it; it was still there roughly 24 hours in so it was sometime in that second 24 hours that it went bye-bye.  i don't want to have to leave my tv constantly connected though - i.e., constantly on and unable to change inputs; - just to be rid of the banner...i'd rather be able to turn it off entirely; even if i have to do it each time i connect instead of a global, default option, i'd be happy.

Same problem here. The banner is on even after disconnecting and worst after moving away to another location (from work to home, but I still need my laptop on). The pin is greyed. The only option is to click on "reconnect" and that does not work. 

I must add that I am so disappointed with Microsoft performance in this area: I have their Surface, their OS (windows) and their wireless display adapter and still there are so many problems. Not just this one, but often I am in the middle of a presentation or discussion and the display decides to go off with no apparent reason... so much for compatibility...

I got rid of it by opening Task Manager and, after making sure the "More details" button was selected, selecting the "Windows Shell Experience Host" process and clicking "End Task". The process status was then shown to be "Suspended". 

This worked for me, too. This bug with wireless screen casting is just one of so many. I need to bookmark this page and fix, as I am going to forget it in 3 months when I have the same problem.

Also, this banner shows up on the projected screen, too. I was trying to project a nice presentation using Office Powerpoint. Since there is no built-in way to case a ppt file like there is for media files, casting the entire screen seemed like a good idea. I should have just found a long cable with how much time it took to do this wirelessly.

Simple fix.   Click on the WiDi "Disconnected banner" message to give it focus, then press Alt F4 to close the app.
