Windows 10: Mouse hover - how to disable in Windows 10 Pro?

I have a new computer with Windows 10 Pro. When I hover the mouse pointer over a link, it opens quickly and automatically. I know from reading others' questions that in earlier versions of Windows, this function could be unclicked in Ease of Access. I don't see that option anymore. Help please!
