    Circle Screen
AI Thread Summary
To remove the circular object with four square icons, often referred to as the "Assistant Menu," users can navigate to the Accessibility settings on their device. Specifically, go to Accessibility, then Interaction and Dexterity, and turn off the Assistant Menu option. A helpful resource was shared that includes a video explanation for further guidance. Additionally, there was a mention of a separate issue regarding an HP laptop battery not recharging when plugged in, indicating a potential need for troubleshooting that specific hardware problem.
