    Background Apps Flash Over Windows When Wallpaper Engine is Running


    When I run Wallpaper Engine, I will frequently have background apps flashing over whatever window I have open. For example, if I have spotify open in the background and I have google focused, spotify will frequently flash over google for a few seconds before stopping. Also only happens when the application is maximized. If I have the application shrunk or in fullscreen the issue will not occur. Wondering if it's a settings issue or a graphical issue on my pc entirely, and when I turn off Wallpaper Engine, the issue stops.PC Specs:CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700XGPU: Nvidia GeForce 4070RAM: 32GBOS: Windo
