Hide Win 8.1 "tip" about "Switch between apps"?

I've just installed Win8.1 and I'm trying to set up IIS. When I open Add remove programs from the start menu I get the pc-settings app.

In the pc-settings app I get a "tooltip" or whatever we should call it, that hints me to "Switch between apps" by swiping from the edge. Well fine, but I don't want to do that right now, and I can't get that tip to dissapear.

The tip lingers on even into Visual Studio, covering my code. I can't swipe because I don't have a touch screen, and also I'm on a multimonitor system that shows this tip in the middle of the screen.

Here's a screenshot for you, where I put the web browser slightly over the left monitor.

So, besides rebooting, how am I supposed to kill this very informative tip?

EDIT

When I kill the app by alt-f4 it dissapears right until I open the settings app again, then it's back.

What I'm asking about is how to dismiss items like this in general.

Some notifications can be removed by moving the mouse cursor to the top left corner of the screen.

If that doesn't work, try this::

1. Go to Search and enter Local Group Policy Editor or gpedit.msc
2. Expand User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and lastly Edge UI
3. Double click on Disable Help Tips
4. Set the configuration to Enabled
5. Select Apply and exit Local Group Policy Editor.

When I did my research, I found the steps over here. Since then, no more annoying notifications from Windows.

This works for me by following:

Download and install drivers: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/all-drivers

Perform the steps mentioned to turn off App Switching: a: Press Windows key + I. b: Then click Change PC Settings. c: Then click PC and Devices. d: Then click Corners and edges. e: Move the Slider towards off for the option Allow switching between recent apps.

Another approach is this guy's illustrated method.

Basically, if you have a non-touchscreen PC, you disable the touch screen input device in Windows' device manager:

Disclaimer: I am in no way related to this guy. (His page has an exit-able "sign up now!" popup but it's harmless)

I'm running a licensed copy of Win 8.1 under a licensed copy of VMware Fusion on a Mac.

1. Right-click the task bar
   a. click Properties
2. Click Navigation tab
3. Uncheck all the boxes in Corner Navigation section
4. Click apply (Any corner "tips" that are currently displaying will disappear)

Clicking on the arrow with my mouse didn't work but it did help when I pressed the Windows key and TAB (which is the keyboard parallel to switch between apps).

This does not prevent it from happening again somewhere else, but do the combo again and it's gone.
