Hi Confused
Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)
Go to Devices - Typing - Hardware Keyboard
Is 'Show suggestions as I type' turned on?
If so, that is most likely the cause of that teardrop . . .
Blue Cursor? Looks like a blue tear drop.

One of my users managed to get this on their screen, I have no idea what this is, or how to get rid of it.
It is a Surface 4 with the latest update to Windows 10 Pro.
Thank you anyone who can help me.

Unfortunately it is turned off already.
I have worked with Windows 10 since it came out.
I have never seen this before.

Actually yes sometimes it does show two of them, it is a touch screen, Do you know anyway to turn it off?
S-and-S,
IT GUY.
I don't know offhand so I will check. But I like them because I can put my finger on one and move it. Selecting with a touchscreen, especially a high resolution one, can be a problem.

2019-07-05T12:55:48+00:00 Is your user storing their logon credentials in Windows or in their web browser? The prompt you are seeing likely comes from that credential manager.
As a matter of policy, I would not favor users storing logon credentials on their computer. It's simply not secure.
