    ??? I want rid of the unrequested banner taking up space telling things I can easily get elsewhere, an own goal. F11 has no effect as far as I can see certainly not a toggle.

    This is certainly a step backwards. Reminiscent of the web banner days of old. None of these software companies want you to own what you pay for from them. Reducing freedoms and trapping you into these un-optional setups. It's really getting quite frustrating for the consumer. This should be removable and optional to display. It also poses a potential "over the shoulder" security risk for people that work on the go and are in their settings.

    Poor move Microsoft. I'd recommend you stop this behavior.

    Yeah MS lost completely the way about UI. 100% disaster. They are in the middle of this transition from old Metro UI to the new design, mixing old Metro with Android elements, still square tiles (which look amazing) mixed with the horrid rounder buttons or textbox Android-style, still stylized elements mixed with colorful crappy icons that probably teenagers like most. 

    Don't know, really... since Joe Belfiore left the core position he had in the good old times of Zune and Windows Phone 7/8, MS UI went just bad. They don't have any solid guidance, who's leading the UI has no idea where to look or what to do. 

    Now this horrid senseless banner in the settings app... last piece of a messed puzzle. Same is going on with the MS Launcher for Android. V5 was great, V6 is the same mess of old UI mixed with Android-like elements, it's out since more than a year still crappy and full of bugs.

    I am pissed.

    Remembering that you are not talking to Microsoft employees here but other users.

    This feature has been added during later builds and versions. If you don't want it shown on the Taskbar then hide it by one of the methods detailed in the link.

    If you don't like this type of update then give your thoughts to the Windows 10 development team via the Windows 10 Feedback Hub, winkey+f.

    Yeah I'm on the same version, I had it, then I thought I got rid of it only for it to show up again but both time it wasn't directly after an update. the only way to get rid of it currently is third party software, On YouTube Britec09 had a video 2 days ago - link if you want it - https://youtu.be/siASAKVPUQU
