Some keys in my keyboard might not be working.

Caret browsing popup appears again and again even when I disable the feature with F7 key.

I have tried disable the caret browsing feature through toggle in accessibility settings in both Chrome and Edge.

Still not able to get rid of the popup.

    Hello,

    Try the following registry key:

    Search "regedit", add a DWORD named "Enabled" to the key below and set its value to zero:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\CaretBrowsing

    Best Regards,
