    Black box flashes in top left of screen

    Hi Ryan,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Do you see the black box in Safe mode?
    • Did you install any software recently?

    Check for the applications that are running in the task manager that can cause the black box.

    Please provide us the screenshot of the the task manager application and the black box that flashes.
