Remove strange blue box in visual studio

The box is drawn by Windows’ Narrator feature for people with low vision. I recently accidentally toggled this myself by hitting winkey+enter. Hitting it again and moving the mouse cursor seems to toggle it back off again as well.

As mentioned below, depending on the narrator shortcuts configured on your system one of the following may work:

  • winkey+enter.
  • caps lock+esc
