    How in the $%$$#$ do you turn off the 'hoover mouse over" function in Windows 11.

  3. Mouse Hoover Popup Boxes

    This is not an isolated issued. I have seen many many people frustrated with not being able to disable the hoover pop ups whenever you put the cursor over anything. That constant annoying square box that pops up in hoover. I am not sure what other information
    you need. And for some reason the threads posted about this in community are all locked. Is there some reason we are not allowed to turn off the irritating and frustrating pop up box that is of NO benefit to the user. I am sure this is not the first time
    this question has been asked. I searched the web and all the procedures that can fix this are non existent on windows 10. What is up with that?

    Mouse functions poorly

    Hi Steve,

    Let us isolate the issue with the function of your mouse by providing us the following information:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
    • Is this the first time you experienced the issue?
    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Have you tried using another mouse on your device? If yes, what is the result?

    We look forward to your response.
