Windows 10: disable hover popups

Does anyone know how to disable over popups on windows 10? When using windows 10 email and hovering over a clickable link, such as a picture, there is a huge hover popup with the entire URL. It is annoying and takes up a big part of the screen. see screenshot below.

How to stop Popups on links

How do I get rid of the popups when I hover over a link. these popups contain the whole URL

 

Windows 10 - Action Center Won't Open

Unsure if this is your problem, but I discovered the problem.

When you hover over something in the system tray, a tiny little popup window appears with a tiny bit of text explaining what that icon is. This tiny little text popup appears above the system tray icon, so that it doesn't interfere with
a mouse click on the icon.

However, when you hover over the action center icon in the system tray, that tiny popup window appears squarely planted directly on top of the icon you intend to press. This text box sometimes say "No new notifications", or something else.
Since it appears where your mouse is hovering, it captures the mouse click, and the action center never receives the mouse click. This prevents action center from ever starting, no matter how often you try.

I discovered, the only way to start action center is waiting for the little popup window to disappear, and then click. Only then will action center start.





The solution is to move the tiny text popup above the icon so it doesn't interfere with the mouse click. See image of speaker hover (popup saying "Speakers: 78%" is above icon and is correct) and action center hover (popup saying "No new
notifications" is on top of icon and interferes).

Not sure if this will work in an App, but you could try it.

Navigate in the Windows Registry to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse
in the right pane, double click on MouseHoverTime and change the value to something so high it virtually disables the popup.
400 should be default, 4000 should do it.
Requires a Restart.

 

Did not solve the issue, but made the size of the hover much smaller.

 

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? The "large hover pop up window" makes it difficult to read my emails in the windows 10 mail app.--

 

Changing MouseHoverTime should not have affected the size of the popup, it should have disabled hover popups completely. Check to make sure changed the right one.

 

I did as suggested, and I did remember to reboot the laptop, but it didn't affect the e-mails in any way. Not only did it not eliminate the pop-ups, but it didn't make them smaller, either.

Is going to Windows Live Mail (WLM) a viable option? Is WLM going to be deprecated any time soon?

At this point, I believe that the issue is with Windows Mail (not Windows 10, itself). I have seen (in another site) a reference to it being a"feature". Some feature! It is a complete annoyance to anyone (in my opinion) who has ever experienced this unadvertised "feature". I can't wait for Mozilla to get off their collective kiesters and fix Thunderbird so I can again receive E-Mails.

 

It did the same for me. It's such an aggravating darned "feature."
