Tooltips not working in IE

Question

Tooltips not working in IE. They work fine in chrome but not IE 11. I'm not using custom tooltips just the default ones. Also I have a laptop that has IE 11 and that worked once I added the site to compat view but my PC IE11 doesn't. I've tried resetting the browser as well as adding it to compatibility view (that's what got my laptop to start working).

Just to clarify as well this is when viewing the report on report server not in Power BI Desktop itself.

Hi&nbsp;id013&nbsp;,
By my tests, I cannot reproduce your issue in my site.

What about updating your IE browser?
In addition, you could clear the cache and cookie and try again.

Hi,&nbsp;So I'm actually using PBI desktop with Power BI Report Server (May 2019). Also I am able to get it to work on my laptop on IE which uses the same IE version as my PC so I know it CAN work. I'm just wondering if there's any specific settings that can interfere with it? I've tried clearing the cache, trying it with no add-ons enabled as well as resetting the entire browser.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks

I am having a similar issue.&nbsp; In a report with custom report tooltips, the default tooltips are not showing in *edge* but do work in chrome.&nbsp; So frustrating.

So it's not a good answer, but I've found that when I reboot my PC tooltips start working in IE. So I'm guessing it must be something that I'm running that is maybe affecting things.&nbsp;
