I'm using Windows 10. No matter what i do there are constantly what i call tooltips - they look the same as "pop-up descriptions for folder and desktop items" in folder options, but that setting only affects items in File Explorer. These things appear literally everywhere - for example, I have a browser open showing a youtube video, and a text document open. if my cursor happens to be over the title of the video (not even a link, just the title of the video) a tooltip pops up with the exact same title (useless!), and this can happen if my cursor happens to be over the title and i alt-tab so i can view the text document and the effing floating box tooltip stays OVER the text document so i can't see what i'm typing. this happens constantly over every program - i'm constantly alt-tabbing between programs, and tooltips are constantly popping up from other programs in the background and covering programs i'm trying to use so i can't see what i'm doing. This is insane. I just want to turn all these tooltips off - but especially the ones that come up over web pages, which are completely useless. Does anyone know how to turn these off?
