You can get rid of the blue box by turning off the narrator (cap lock+esc).

    When I drag a window on my Windows 10 laptop I get this blue rectangle that appears that follows my mouse around and lets me snap the window to a portion of the screen.

    I suspect that it may have to do with the fact that my laptop has a touchscreen and that it's supposed to make it easier to dock windows, but I don't really know.

    Does anybody know how to get rid of this?

      Thanks @davidpostill, I didn't know the name of it so couldn't find the dupe :).

    It's not a blue rectangle around what I click, it's a rectangle that hovers near my mouse when I drag a window. It's unrelated to the narrator. I think it may have to do with the fact that my laptop has a touch screen (to make it easier to dock windows) but I don't really know.

    For me it was the narrator and the search for "blue rectnagle follows focus" took me here. So you solved my problem if not the OP's.
