Click Start – Run - regedit and press enter. This will open the Windows Registry Editor.

Now, navigate through to

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

Look for the DWORD ShowInfoTip, right-click and select Modify and change the value data as required

1 – Enable ToolTips (Default)

0 – Disable ToolTips

Restart your machine. This should disable all the tooltip's.

Edit : Updated one more way to disable tooltips:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop . On the right pane, double-click UserPreferencemask and change the value to 3E 00 00 00. Take a backup before you change this value.

  • Windows tool tips (operating system) are not the same as VS hints (application).
