    Tooltip Covering Notifications Icon


    Surprised I can't find any posts about this annoying problem. When auto-hide the taskbar is enabled, the tooltip (e.g., "No new notifications") for the notifications icon covers the icon. This results in having to click twice to open the Action Center. Is there any way to fix this?

    :)

    Windows 10 -- start menu and taskbar problem

    This might not be the same issue, but I have noticed that the tooltip that pops up and covers the Task View and Notifications buttons also prevents clicks, which makes successfully using Task View and Notifications a 50/50 affair. It should pop up above
    the buttons just like all the other buttons on the taskbar.

    Tooltips in Notification Tray In Windows 10

    Is there a way to get these back? I now mouseover my icons in the notification tray area in windows 10 and no tooltip is visible. Some of these apps I use display important information, such as VPN Port information, in these tooltips that I can no longer
    see in Windows 10. Anyone know of a registry fix to reenable these?

    Tooltip Covering Notifications Icon

    Sorry to respond to a thread from July - yours is one of the very few posts on this issue that I can find. I know it's fairly trivial but you're right; it's really annoying and it affects all my machines. So annoying that I created an account just so that I could reply. I thought it would have been fixed by now through the Windows Update process but alas...

    Interesting that I have the same issue and MS has not resolved it yet. Guess that's to be expected with a free OS. At least now I know how to resolve it, sort of. Would like to see it resolved, though. Time to start digging through the registry.
