    Tool tips no longer show upon mouse hover over Quick Access toolbar icons

    The title tells the story.

    Until recently tips showed upon hovering with the mouse over the icons. This is no longer the case.

    I've reviewed Customize QAT and Settings. I find nothing that mentions this. "Googling" assures me this feature is present.

    The problem seems to have followed one of the numerous Windows or Office updates. I don't know which one.

    Is there a way to restore this feature?

    Oh BTW: This is in Office 365.

    Try this one, Dave.

    File > Options > General > User Interface options > ScreenTip style (dropdown).

    This controls the screentips on the QAT and the ribbon.

    I'm using Microsoft 365 and this setting changed without my knowledge, but your solution worked perfectly!

    Many thanks!
