    search bar at the top of my screen

    Hi Kathy

    Do you have a web search bar stick to the top of your Desktop, that stays on top of everything?

    If so it is one of 2 search bars, the usual culprit is Web Bar, but that may lao be a Google search bar . .

    Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager

    Scroll down to find Wb. exe - on the right it should say Web Bar in the Description - if you don't find that also look for a google bar

    Right click that and choose 'End Task'

    Does that get rid of this annoyance?

    If so, go to Control Panel - Programs and Features

    Scroll to the bottom of the list of installed Apps, then find and Uninstall Web Bar

  4. Has anyone found a way to get rid of the Stupid "Top Apps" thing in the search bar?

    Downloaded app, and a random search bar came to the top of my screen.

    The search bar that is showing on the upper part of the screen is a 3rd party search bar tool. This tool bar may have been included during the installation or when you installed the CamStudio on your computer. To take that off from your screen, we suggest
    that you uninstall the search bar tool. To do that, follow these steps:

    • Right-click on Start and click Control Panel.
    • Go to Programs and features and click Uninstall a Program.
    • Under Uninstall or change a program, scroll through the list to check if there is any third party tool\search bar installed on the computer.
    • If yes, right-click on the tool\search bar and uninstall it.

    Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue so that we can assist you further.
