Any way to disable this part?

Easy as pie, just close groove and disable background execution (settings app->privacy-> background apps) or terminate it in the task manager. Do that and no groove controls!

I wish you had mentioned you needed to use the keyboard buttons to get it to display that extra bit, I was wondering what i was missing.

Groove settings leave a lot to be desired: http://www.howtogeek.com/225046/how-to-add-and-organize-music-on-windows-10-using-the-groove-music-app/

Groove is a nuisance, I mistakenly ran it a few weeks ago and now every day it runs runtime broker and eats 20% CPU for about 20 minutes every few hours unless I change a setting every day.

I am hoping the anniversary update to windows adds new features to Groove but then I live in hope they make multiple desktops useful too. So we shall see.

I'm for not mentioning it, I just always use keyboard button :D
Yes they messed up a lot recently, I was using WMP but it is running extremally slow and buddy so i decided to switch to Groove. Lets hope for a good update.
