Warning!! only do this if you are confident with the registry, if done wrong could mess up your computer.

If you apply this Registry tweak, you'll not accidentally get Charms Bar on screen. It'll only appear when you actually want it.

1. Press "WIN+R" key combination to launch RUN dialog box then type regedit and press enter It'll open Registry Editor and go to following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\

2. Under ImmersiveShell key, create a new key EdgeUI.

3. Now select newly created key "EdgeUI" and in right-side pane, create a new DWORD DisableCharmsHint and set its value to 1

4. That's it. It'll immediately disable Charms Bar hint feature. You'll not need to log off or restart the system.
