    Pop up is getting hard to remove


    Hello -- I keep getting a pop up which may be a Bing Search app - across the top it has a Globe to search the Web, a File for files and something else. At the upper right there's a icon for Microsoft Points of some sort and at the far right are 3 dots with options. None of the options have anything to assist closing the menu box. At the bottom is a search box. The box takes up about 1/2 of my screen and it will not allow me to slide it up, or to either side. It may list notifications but I can't recall.


    It always seems to pop up at inopportune times. Today it has proven very hard to minimize/remove. I even rebooted but it came back. Normally I can click on the window behind it and it goes away. Today it has stayed for more than an hour before it finally disappeared. But I fear it will come back.


    I don't think there is any place to post a screen shot. Anyway, maybe someone can figure out what I'm talking about from my description?


    TIA,

    Larry

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Remove Devices

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are facing issues while removing the device from your Microsoft account as it keeps popping back after removing.



    It could be possible that the device was using OneDrive with the same Microsoft account and that might be the reason you are able to see the device listed under your profile. I would suggest you to remove the device from OneDrive
    and see if that helps.



    You can follow the steps to remove the device from OneDrive.



    1. Login to
      https://onedrive.live.com
      .
    2. Now on the left hand pane click on PC’s.
    3. Now click on the devices that are listed under PC’s and on the right hand side click on
      Remove PC.


    If the issue persists, please get back to us with the results of the troubleshooting steps to assist you further.



    Regards,
