    disable hover popups


    Does anyone know how to disable over popups on windows 10? When using windows 10 email and hovering over a clickable link, such as a picture, there is a huge hover popup with the entire URL. It is annoying and takes up a big part of the screen. see screenshot below.

    Welcome to tenforums.com! :)

    Not sure if this will work in an App, but you could try it.

    Navigate in the Windows Registry to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse
    in the right pane, double click on MouseHoverTime and change the value to something so high it virtually disables the popup.
    400 should be default, 4000 should do it.
    Requires a Restart.

    Did not solve the issue, but made the size of the hover much smaller.

    Did you ever find a solution to this problem? The "large hover pop up window" makes it difficult to read my emails in the windows 10 mail app.--kat101

    Changing MouseHoverTime should not have affected the size of the popup, it should have disabled hover popups completely. Check to make sure changed the right one.

    I did as suggested, and I did remember to reboot the laptop, but it didn't affect the e-mails in any way. Not only did it not eliminate the pop-ups, but it didn't make them smaller, either.

    Is going to Windows Live Mail (WLM) a viable option? Is WLM going to be deprecated any time soon?

    At this point, I believe that the issue is with Windows Mail (not Windows 10, itself). I have seen (in another site) a reference to it being a"feature". Some feature! It is a complete annoyance to anyone (in my opinion) who has ever experienced this unadvertised "feature". I can't wait for Mozilla to get off their collective kiesters and fix Thunderbird so I can again receive E-Mails.

    It did the same for me. It's such an aggravating darned "feature."

    Ok, let's refresh this issue. I first had a problem with gmail. When I sign in on my main desktop (I use it the most) and I want to go to gmail I get a list of my 4 different accounts. I have to select the one I want and a txt msg gets sent to my Android Samsung s8+. I receive 3 code numbers 2 digits each. I have to pick the one that shows on my desktop and activate the right one. My desktop then shows a white screen and a line runs around the box shown and opens the correct email addy. I have no clue as to how this happened but if I go to straight to another addy I have it will go. Leave the email and you have to do it again. Any help would be appreciated but I believe the problem to be with my main account with Gmail. I have another problem I'll post next relating to "How do you turn off "Hover"in Windows 10...

    No, it doesn't require a restart.
