Those are Notifications. You can either invoke it manually by hovering your cursor over the upper extreme right area of the menu bar (you have to click on it)

and


you can control/turn off/on Notifications in System Preferences > Notifications (you would need to choose NONE for any/all entries on left). If you have any set, it will slide in by itself to do what it is supposed to to: notify you of something.

That is the Notification Center. It shouldn't appear unless you click on the icon at the top right of your screen or if you slide left from the right edge of the screen with two fingers (if you have that Trackpad) option turned on. See: Use Notifications on your Mac - Apple Support

It should disappear if you click anywhere else on the screen.


It sounds from you question like it is appearing without you clicking or tapping when the cursor is on the icon. Is that correct?
