    Hi, perhaps you could explain
    a. Is that a browser window in the background?
    b. If so, which?
    c. Quote an example page URL, and state when the popup occurs- e.g. mouse over ...........(what?)

    Thanks

    It's a popup dialog that appears when you point your mouse at something in windows, see the screengrab in my original post.

    It seems to be working fine for me, you just have to click on the highlighted text.

    Not all over Windows, but just some areas - in this case the notification icons in the system tray on the taskbar. They are meant to be helpful and provide further information. Your screenshot is of the clock, which shows the full date and day of the week, for example. Others provide different useful information, like the battery icon for laptops which shows the time remaining or, when plugged in, the level of charge and whether or not the battery is being charging. The Speaker icon shows the current volume setting. Hover over a Tab in IE and it tells you the title and web address of the page it contains.

    Why do you find extra information annoying? Anyway, I know of no way to turn it off.

    Just to say, it is or at least it was possible to disable it on 10. But I am sorry to say, I can not remember how.
    I did it by accident, by disabling some Windows shell exe or broker services, which are responsible for this.
    But on latest versions of 10, those services run, even when disabled, so I do not think, it would work now.

    Hi, you're referring to toast notifications. As said, not sure there is a way to turn them off. And indeed they are generally informative and I find relatively unobtrusive.

    Should you wish to experiment, this may be of interest:
    Enable balloon notifications in Windows 10 using a Registry tweak - Winaero

    Or use Winaero's free tweaker.

    Note- easily accessible screenshot

    Then who knows.. this may then work for you.

    Back up appropriately before any tweaking. (I'd suggest best to leave well alone).

    I tested it with winaero tweaker, but i didn't solve it, as the popups still appears all over windows. The registry tweak seems to be for windows 7 and 8.

    Never said it could be done, just that you might be interested.
