Windows 10 How to get rid of the little pop-up window while dragging in File Explorer

[Jaap Verhage]

Hello everyone,

I'm sure this is laughably simple to fix, but I just can't find it anywhere. When I drag a file or folder in Windows 10 File Explorer, a little pop-up window appears as soon as the mouse pointer hovers over a folder. The mini-window contains the name of the folder. All the little window does for me, is obscure what I see. Is there a way to get rid of it? I don't remember seeing this in Windows 7.

Thanks for your time and trouble.

Regards, Jaap.

Jaap Verhage … there's talk on the i'net the issue could be the win-10 theme you are using … try going back to win-10 default theme.

settings / personalization / themes / theme-settings / windows10-default-theme

i haven't tried it out … am apprehensive about losing my own settings.

We just have to keep our fingers crossed.
