Question Windows descriptions instantly pop-up ?

[T2N]

It's hard to describe but the issue i have that some windows descriptions instantly pop-up covering icons or what's behind and what i actually want to click.

I've tried to "fix" it on my own but i've got as far as fixing some of it in registry as example desktop icons description shows after a full second (which is what i want). Just wanted to add that everything works fine in browser pop-up's and they show after 0.5 which is still fine and don't cover what i want to click on.

Screens showing "✅" are working fine. Problem is with the pop-ups in the red rectangle (just to clarify).

Perhaps the following link will help.

Option One only.

Also: stay out of the registry. Registry edits are a last resort and should only be attempted or done after a full system backup including the registry itself.

Be aware that some previous registry edits may now interfere with further attempts to stop the descriptions from popping up.

This only disables the one's that are working correctly. The issue is with "windows aero" one's. Like so

In the registry, go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse and check if "MouseHoverTime" is 400 and the type is "REG_SZ"

That is what my system registry (Windows 11 Pro) is showing.

Also noted in Link #3 that the RivaTuner version is a "Beta".

May or may not be relevant....

If beta software is writing to a registry entry that has nothing to do with its functionality and also affects the global Windows UI behavior, should probably just ditch the developer because they have no business doing that.

In the registry, go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse and check if "MouseHoverTime" is 400 and the type is "REG_SZ"

It's REG_DWORD and it's set to 1000 (1s)

On a side note, this seems to affect only the pop-up's with ✅ on screenshots and ignores areo one's 🙁.

It should be "REG_SZ". I don't know if you've used the software related to this github post, but basically they had a similar problem and they fixed it by recreating the entry.

Or basically:

• Important: Either create a system restore point or in Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse and select File -> Export to export this path in case something happens
• Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse
• Delete the existing "MouseHoverTime" entry
• Right click somewhere and select New -> String Value
• Name it "MouseHoverTime"
• Set the value to 400 (or whatever you'd like, it's time in ms)

This requires rebooting the computer to take effect.

EDIT: Added the caveat to back up the registry/set a restore point

Finally, that was the issue. Thank you so much!

It normally helps to suggest people backup registry before making changes, just in case - https://neosmart.net/wiki/backup-restore-registry/

it probably be fine but it helps to be sure
