    Incredibly vague weird grey outlines on my desktop


    Sinds some time I have a kind of outlines on my screen whenever playing videogames, watching movies via mediaplayers or browser, or just plain desktop. I have an LGC7 TV connected to a receiver. W 10 x64 1809

    This "line' seems to change constantly. Sometimes it is just top, sometimes just right, sometimes just bottom.
    But NEVER left.
    And sometimes the lines comebine. Like top + right or bottom + right. While other times it is just Top Or bottom or right solo line.

    Incredibly weird. So I hope people know what this could be since it is so vague.
    And so these lines keep coming and going.. just when I think the problem is gone. It quickly returns.

    I tied.
    1. changing windows theme
    2. changing windows user
    3. nvidia driver uninstall +clear settings and re-install


    Nothing seems to help so far.

    To make a photo is somewhat challenging, but here is one to get a basic idea of the problem.

    Weird text outlining- Windows 10

    Hi,

    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.


    • What is the exact issue that you’re facing with Windows 10?

    • What exactly do you mean by weird text outlining?

    • Are you facing any issue with applications?
    In the screenshot, I am unable to see any weird outlining. But if you are seeing any issue with the display then I suggest you to try installing all the pending Windows Updates and check for the issue. If the issue still persists then try changing
    the resolution and check.

    Thanks and regards.

    Hi Nathan,

    The issue might occur due to corrupted display drivers or incompatible drivers.

    I suggest you to update display drivers from device manager and check if it helps.

    To update the drivers, follow the steps below.


    • Type “Device Manager” in search box and press Enter.

    • Right click on the drivers for Display and Touchscreen and select Update.

    • Follow the on-screen prompts to update.
    Please get back to us with the results in regards with black outline
    dragged windows around on the desktop after and any other questions you might have regarding Windows operating systems. We are happy to assist.
