Windows 10: EXPLORER.EXE POPUP KEEP POPPING UP. HOW CAN I GET RID OF IT?

Every time I start my HP computer with Windows 11 22H2 it throws out this popup. I have a 64-bit system and it seems this is for a 32-bit system. How come is it popping up and how can I get rid of it? This happened after updating Windows 11 to 22H2. It is really so frustrating. Please can someone assist me. Feels if this is a real black Friday HP Intel Core i3 laptop! I added a screenshot.

File Explorer jump list doesn't consistently show location popups

Thanks for your reply.

Whatever "it" is exactly, all I know is, it does not behave consistently. This is so across multiple systems. Also, it isn't just recent items, but pinned items that fail to produce the popup on mouse over (when they should).

If the File Explorer setting you're referring to is "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items," I already have that turned on.

Based on my tests, I tend to think this is a bug. Did you try reproducing it?

1. Right click File Explorer in taskbar to open the jump list.
2. Mouse over any of the pinned or recent folders and see if the popup with the location path appears (as shown in the screenshot with the original post).
3. If it does appear, close out of the jump list by left clicking anywhere outside of it.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until you find the popups not appearing. In my experience, it always occurs, even if not right away. And all too often when I need them most.
