Windows 10: Tooltips not showing in Chrome

For a while now I've noticed that Chrome isn't showing tooltips anywhere. Either when hovering over links or images. I am not sure what's preventing them from showing.

Tooltips in Notification Tray In Windows 10

The tooltips have never been visible since my upgrade. The notification tray area is mostly opaque but no tooltips will display at all. If I right click on objects in the task tray I can interact with them, but none show tooltips and there's information
in my VPN clients tooltip that I require.

 

Tooltips in Notification Tray In Windows 10

So I've noticed that tooltips shows while windows is still starting up, but once everythings full up and running they disappear completely. I did the scannow /sfc. I also notice that microsoft programs have no problems displaying tooltips, like the Microsoft
Upload Center tooltip always displays fine, but other programs don't. It's like they've changed how tooltips work and don't support legacy tooltips.

 

I have had that in the past, try clearing your cache / SHIFT + F5 / CTRL + F5

See if that helps.

Cheers,

That worked, thanks. I suspect I'll have to keep doing this occasionally.


[edited post but I was careful not to name any, I've been stung by that before.]

 

Glad that helped!

I know this post is fairly old now but I am still having this issue. I can't even see the address bar at the bottom of Chrome.

I have just done a clean install of Windows 10 and don't have any software or security installed yet.
