Windows 10: White box in corner of my screen, can't right click and all apps are gone

Title is self explanatory. It doesn't impair me too much since I can search up everything I need in the start menu, but it's still annoying overall.


Any ideas on how to get rid of it? It seems to go away when I restart, but comes back sometime later. I haven't downloaded anything except Windows programs and my antivirus hasn't detected anything. This happened on my desktop as well.

White box on the top right corner of the screen

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are able to see a white box on top right corner of the screen and it hides some of the apps on the screen. For further clarity on the screen, please respond to the questions below:

1. Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently?
   
2. Do you see anything written on the white box?
   
3. Do you get the box when you restart the PC?
   

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try performing a clean boot and check if the issue persists.



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer. However,
that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



To perform a clean boot on the computer refer to the article
How to perform a clean boot in Windows.



If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.



Note: Please refer the section
Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.

Strange white box on bottom right corner of screen when waking from sleep

Hello,

I noticed a very strange phenomenon happening on my computer in the last couple weeks, in that whenever I wake it from sleep, a small white rectangle appears on the bottom right corner of my screen, just above the taskbar. If I right click in the box, I
get a settings menu with the options "Back," "Forward," and "Reload." There doesn't seem to be any apps attached to it, and when I click "Reload" it "disappears." I use quotes because the box is still there, just invisible, effectively making that corner
of my screen impossible to click on. The other two options are greyed out and do nothing.

So far the only fix I have found was to fully restart the PC. Any fixes any of you may have would be greatly appreciated, as I really don't want to have to sit through a full boot process every day. Thank you in advance.
