How do I stop the two balloons: "Extend" & "More" from popping up

When my mouse goes to the edge of the screen two balloons pop up. One says "Extend" and the second says "More". Those can be used to extend the display to a second monitor.

I am using 2 monitors in extended mode.

This behavior is very annoying. How do i stop this?

    Hello

    I understand that the “Extend” and “More” balloons popping up when your mouse goes to the edge of the screen can be annoying. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a direct solution to disable these specific balloons. However, here are a couple of suggestions that might help:

    Windows Shortcut: You can use the Windows shortcut to control display extension. Hold WIN and press P repeatedly to cycle through the following display options: Computer only, Duplicate, Extend, and Projector only. To enable an extended display quickly after turning on your second screen, hold WIN and press P until Extend is the highlighted option.

    Monitor Arrangement: You could try adjusting the arrangement of your monitors in your display settings. For example, placing the other monitor to the left-hand corner in “arranging monitor” might prevent your mouse from running away.
