    Turn on caret browsing? Annoying popup appears everywhere


    I have been seeing this popup for 3 or 4 months after some usual windows update, before that it didn't come. Now it appears everywhere, in the start menu, in settings, when I right-click to the taskbar, in applications, etc. and the interesting part is I never clicked F7 then why this popup. I always check "Do not ask me again when I press F7", but even I keep seeing this.Although it doesn't pop up every time, I see it often. I got one just now.

    :)

    How do I turn off the F7 Caret Browsing prompt?

    This is one of the MOST annoying feature of Windows 10 the new Microsoft Edge, etc.

    Pressing F7 during a game, brings up the Enable Caret Browsing popup window!!!!!!

    Even if you click the checkbox, it reappears the next time you start the game .... AppStore based Game.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Caret Browsing is when you use the keyboard to navigate a browser using the
    Home, End, Page Up/Down, and
    arrow keys     instead of the mouse. If the message to turn on Caret Browsing pops up, you will see a blue border on either
    Yes or No. Use use the left or right arrow keys to change the selection, and then press
    Enter to confirm your choice. You can also use the Tab
    key on the keyboard.

    We hope this helps. Let us know if there's anything else that we can help you with.
