Windows 10: Windows 10 shows annoying balloon tooltips all the time in tablet mode

I have the problem, that Windows 10 is really annoying when it comes to balloon tips when you are in tablet mode. Every few touches, Windows shows non relevant tooltips when you touche the screen, mostly from the start menu. I already have tried to do this:

Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000[/quote] But that doesnt help. Is there another way to deactivate tooltips (all tooltips, startmenu tooltips)?

For example everytime I swype to the right to show setting tile and then back into the screen, start menu shows an annoying "show hidden symbols" tooltip.

Hi

Here is a link which may help. There doesn't seem to be a simple way to disable all or individual notifications in windows 10 only ways to make them show for different lengths of time.

Windows 10, How does one increase the size of the tooltips text for icons on the Task Bar ?

I would like to increase the size of the tooltips balloon text Windows 10 icons on the task bar.

Currently the tooltips text size changes for the UI in browsers, Word, Excel only.

In earlier versions of Windows one could do this very easily , even changing the background and text colour.

One could have something like (TV news channels ticker tape ) e.g. black text (Size (e.g 22) according to preference) and yellow background.

On large TV screen (42 in), it is almost impossible to read the task Bar icons Tooltips text as it is too small in size from distance of say 3 metres /120 ins.

I have tried changing tooltips in the Graphic options, but it does not change the text size for the Task Bar icons tooltips.

With quite a number of users nowadays using the big TV screen, I would have expected this to be an option .

 

Hello mkdr, *Smile

You might see if turning off tips may be able to help some.

No. I asked about ordinary Windows (balloon) tooltips, which has nothing to do with Windows 10 "tips". This is what Im talking about:





Or in general: http://www.way2itech.com/tutorials/dotNet/tooltip-3.png

I am talking about mouse-over tooltips, which randomly show when you use Windows 10 in touche/tablet mode, everywhere, mostly start menu or Edge/Explorer elements.

"This is the start menu"
"This is a button"
"This is irrelevant information"

They seemed to be buged if youre on a tablet device and randomly appear even if you never clicked on the element.

There needs to be another way to disable them, start menu actually is explorer.exe though Im not sure why the regedit does not work.

 

@ mkdr:

A couple reg tweaks may help:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse]
Set MouseHoverTime to a value so high it virtually disables it, eg. 8000, (default is 400)

also

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
MenuShowDelay...... (default is also 400)
(This one may not apply but you can still open auto cascading menus by clicking on them)

You must Restart the PC.

The white taskbar indicators, you can't do anything about them.
