Hey there folks,
Totally off-topic, so apologies in advance.
A few days ago, (perhaps due to some covert update that snuck in unbeknownst to me), everytime I try and adjust the volume from my keyboard this incredibly annoying and useless banner pops up that often obscures a significant portion of my screen for an annoying length of time before fading away (see screenshot).
I used to get a sliver of a popup that indicated the volume level. It was small and unobtrusive, and exactly how I like it.
Can anyone here please, oh please tell me how to get rid of this awful thing?
Thanks in advance!

I just started getting something similar when adjusting the sample rate of my Focusrite interface, so I understand the annoyance.
Yours is not that, of course. It looks like something of a volume control from Chrome, a Google browser. Are you using a Google browser? Perhaps it’s something you can go into the Google Settings to adjust.
It’s interesting there doesn’t appear to be a control point to close that window. Perhaps a transparent X just outside of the area of the picture (the red border)?

By the way, if it is a legitimate Windows window, highlight it and do Alt+F4 to close it.

Try a different browser. From the screen shot it appears you're using Chrome. I suspect this maybe the result of a browser update.

I'm just guessing here but ..
MS decided to base Edge on Chrome and work with Chrome development.
As a result IE/Edge is expected to improve greatly.
However as a side effect, Chrome is now probably learning some new MS OS 'hooks' and able to experiment with them.
Chrome also (I think in April) started blocking multiple file downloads from a website on one click .. I immediately assumed the MS development towards Chrome was the source, but again just a guess on my part. It's now an option in Chrome to 'allow' a site to download multiple files at once but not the default.
This simple change broke some web apps we control and was a PITA for a bit.
There may be other new 'features' in Chrome along the path of this new development.
I'm hoping the IE/Edge improvements make it all worth while, but a little worried with some other 'side effects' in Chrome.
Wondering if this particular issue is possibly one of the new features Chrome is experimenting with ..

We're talking Chrome/Google right? I just put into Google "Chrome.exe popup". Chrome Popup Bob

Nice catch Bob; looks like it's indeed another new Chrome 'flag' thing, much like the download limiter I mentioned above..

Band-in-a-Box® Features List!
Every version release of Band-in-a-Box® adds loads of new features and enhancements to the program, which we're sure can sometimes get "lost" in your knowledge of the program's capabilities.
Looking to learn about new features with a specific release? It's actually really easy to locate this information!
Learn tips on the new version (2019) by visiting Help | Tip of the Day and placing a check mark next to "Only Show Tips for Version 2019" (you'll also need to select "Show Tips at Startup", if it's not already).
Access the new features list for older versions in the Help Index of the program - from the left-menu, choose Contents | Features and a list of New Features will show - all the way back to Version 7!
#FeatureFriday
#TBT Band-in-a-Box® Goes to NAMM
As we get ready to head to Summer NAMM this year, we're remembering our time their last year - we had so many visitors stop by our booth!
Click here to take a peak!
Special thanks to Mike and all the RealTracks Artists and PG Endorsers who stopped by. Stay tuned for our Booth Visitors and other happenings from Summer NAMM on July 18-20, 2019! If you find yourself at the event, come say "Hi!" to us at booth 234.
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows StylePicker Feature - Finding RealTracks & MIDI SuperTracks
Did you know... Within Band-in-a-Box®, quickly find styles that use RealTracks (or MIDI SuperTracks!) in a certain range by pressing the [Other] filter button in the StylePicker window and select "Styles that contain RealTracks or MIDI SuperTracks in a number range".
#WisdomWednesday
Band-in-a-Box® Tip of the Day!
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® will show you some helpful "Tips" when you start the program? What a great way for new program users to learn all the features of the program! Want to know Tips on just the latest version? This feature can be adjusted to just show the Tips for that too.
Maybe you're a long-time user of the program, and have this feature turned off? To access Tip of the Day (450+ available!), head to Help | Tip of the Day. Your Tip will appear right away - and you'll have the option of reading the Next Tip if you wanted too! Within this window is where you would also choose to "Show Tips at Startup" (if this is unchecked, you won't see them), or "Only Show Tips for Version 2019".
Here's a few Tips the program informed me of the last time I opened Band-in-a-Box®:
In the Piano Roll window, the 'Ghost Note' function allows you to view a single-channel, and see notes on all other channels display in light grey. This is useful when working with multi-channel tracks.
Want a bigger guitar display? Drag the bottom end of the Guitar Window to change its size, or press the SETTINGS button to set a custom size.
The Printout can use left and right MARGINS. This is useful to make printouts for small paper size or 3 hole paper that requires margins.
Edit | Nudge Chords/Melody. Let's say that you have entered a complete song chord progression, and you then realize that all of the chords starting at bar 23 are 1 beat to late. You can use this feature to slide your chords over by 1 beat.
