Don't want to see link addresses . . . hide'm how?

[James Stradling]

Probably a simple question . . . . when viewing web sites, emails, etc. and as the mouse rolls over a "linkable site" - the web address flashes up on the screen (and it's LONG, REALLY LONG!!) and I can't see anything around it that I am supposed to click on! Is there a way to hide that address from showing up on the screen or, at least, have it show very briefly?

There are a lot of undocumented settings that can be added to the registry, but I didn't see any immediately apparent that pertain to the URL popping up in the bottom left. You can try resetting Edge.

• Open Explorer (Window Key + e) and type in the address bar %LOCALAPPDATA%
• Open the Packages directory
• Append .old to Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe
• Open powershell (Window Key) type powershell
• Type the following command

• Get-AppxPackage *Edge* | Foreach { "$($_.InstallLocation)\Appxmanifest.xml" | Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopMode }

• Microsoft Edge should now be reset
