If you want to disable the parameter help box, in VSCode, on the bottom left there is a gear icon. Click on that, select settings. Search for "Java Inlay". Scroll down to where you see:

*JavaScript › Inlay Hints › Parameter Names: Enabled*

In the dropdown menu, select None. Scroll down a bit further and you'll see another:

*Java › Inlay Hints › Parameter Names: Enabled*
*Java › Inlay Hints › Parameter Names: Exclusions can be used to disable the inlay hints for methods.*

Once again, in the dropdown menu, select None.

Alternatively, you can open the settings.json file. To open this, press Ctrl+Shift+P at the same time, type in "settings.json" and select "Preference: Open User Settings (JSON)". Add this to the JSON file:

"none",
