It reappears after awhile and the only way to hide it again is to restart the sql browser service but again it is only temporary.

It has to do with the release of SQL2016/CU7+KB4057119 (the security patch released as CU7). We have an open Microsoft support case, but it has not yet been reported/confirmed as a bug.

Microsoft is aware of this issue.
