      This happened again today. Except it was my primary monitor. Once again a reboot fixed this.

      Is this happening to anyone else?

      I really don't use the charms, so even if it was happening, I wouldn't notice.

      Yeah. Few things do I want disabled more than things that pop up and grab the mouse over other controls that I was actively trying to click on. Charms, I think, are the worst part of the Windows 8 experience, far worse than the Start Screen and other weirdness.

        It happened again today. It seems to be related to the Mail App.

            Windows Mail App and its me using it. I use it 100 times a day, maybe more. This is happened to me 3 times and I think it was related to the mail app each time. I tried to kill it in task manager, but the didnt fix the problem. The mail app works fine, I just lose the ability to click the minimize or red X as well as losing the Charm Bar.

                It happened again today. I can confirm that it is caused by the Mail App. It seems to be related to moving the app into split screen mode. I tried removing the Mail App and reinstalling it. I still needed a reboot to fix the issue.

                  I think you're the first person I've ever heard from that uses the Mail app.

                        I am just kidding with you. I actually like the mail client for what it is. I know its no Outlook, but its fine for what I am using it for.

                          It works really nice for me because I have 3 Windows 8.1 PCs at home and one at work. It automatically syncs my sent and received email between the two and I dont have to have Outlook licenses on all 3 PCs

                              Not much of Outlook licensing concerns now that Office 365 gives you five licenses per user. And you can use OWA anywhere.
