    Hello,

    MS has added another stupid thing in W8-1:
    SwitchPopup.jpg
    It usually displays in Metro and it can be killed by switching to desktop and back to Metro.
    However last time it displayed in desktop and and was totally persistent to my killing attempts...

    So how to disable it to never appear again?

    It appears only ONCE. If you click the popup, never ask again

    You aren't suppsoed to click it, but do the action it's showing. If you can't swipe in you obviously use your mouse instead.
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    In my case "the s**t box" remains there, no matter if I will stand on my head, swallow the mouse or throw the PC out of the window... :))

    However both REG file as well GPEDIT.MSC switch option work...
