    "Windows 11 Pro (23H2), Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0" here:

    It would be great to see a bugfix for this issue.

    It's very annoying and disturbs the workflow, specially when working with multiple tabs.

    I'm not sure OP is describing the same problem I was having, but a lot of people in this thread have the same problem as I, so since I figured the solution out myself, I wanted to share it.

    People are over-complicating this.

    -Go to File Explorer settings

    -Go to View Tab

    -Uncheck 'Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items'
