  2. Rectangles On My Desktop

    So on my desktop every once in a while, all of my icons would disappear and this moveable rectangle would show up on the top right of my screen. If I right click the rectangles it won't do anything. Also if I go and press Win+Tab to view all my windows,
    there would be an unknown application that would show up on the top left of my screen. The worse part is that I am unable to delete the application whenever I try to. I've discovered that it will go away if I restart my computer but it will always come back.
    Please let me know if there is any way that I can make it go away.

    Windows desktop cursor rectangle not 144hz

    Hey! When I right click my mouse on my desktop and drag my mouse around the desktop, the blue rectangle that can be used to selected specific folders etc on the desktop is not 144hz. Everything else on my pc is working fine and runs 144hz and even when
    I do the same thing in file explorer, it is 144hz and alot more smooth than when I do it on my desktop. What is causing this lag on the blue rectangle? very annoying. Please help!
