    Hi Brian,

    As of the moment, we have no option to disable the Read Aloud feature when you right-click. In the meantime,

    In order to submit new feedback, please follow these steps:

    3. Select the Problem, and share any details you think are relevant, and choose an appropriate category and subcategory.
    4. Important: If possible, reproduce the problem(s) after clicking Begin monitoring (or Start capture) near the end of the form; Stop monitoring when you’re done.
    5. Once you’ve completed the form and monitoring, click Submit.
    6. Click Continue using Feedback Hub.

    I get a popup with read aloud as the first selection and then there's copy as a choice and some other selections as well; but, it happens when I place my mouse over an X to close something as well as other places that it pops up...just can't think remember but it is annoying and MS should offer a solution as it really is not needed since I can read for myself!!

    I experience Read Aloud popup when typing often more than once per minute. Minimizing palm touch setting and sensitivity setting did not reduce popups significantly. Since Read Aloud has a touchpad shortcut, I would like to disable that short cut except when I want to use it, which to date has been never. The nuisance is often worse than not using the touchpad or mouse and going keyboard only. Seems like a simple thing to fix, but it's a nuisance that drags Win 10 down!
