c.    In the right pane, double click/tap on ShowInfoTip to modify it.

Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Hi Charles,

Are you referring to the Popup in Windows Explorer or Mouse hover?

To disable the settings, let’s try the following steps and check if it helps.

1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Click on Ease of Access link or Ease of Access Center icon.
3. Select Change how your mouse works or Make the mouse easier to use option.
4. Tick the check box for Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse under “Make it easier to manage windows” section.
5. Click OK or Apply, and hover your mouse on another window to activate it instantly.
6. If yes, disable it. Uncheck the option.

I would request you to please provide us a screenshot of the issue you are experiencing to get a better understanding of the issue.
