    Errant Boxes at top of desktop creating mess


    I am experiencing a phenomena where there are some boxes at the top of the screen. When I get too close to them they grow then make a mess of all my open windows. Does anyone know what this is? Antivirus doesn't notice it. SFC didn't reveal anything. My brother said that he thinks it is supposed to have something to do with OCD and people that require strict order on their desktops.Any help would be greatly appreciated.\Win11 22621.3825900x2x AMD 690064GB gskill 3200

    How do i rid of the grey box in the top left of my desktop?

    Hi,

    It's odd for a random grey box to show up on your desktop after the last update occurred on your computer. It could also be a software installed on your computer that's causing for it to appear. However, let us not assume anything yet until we isolated your
    concern by providing the answers to these questions:

    • Did you start noticing the grey box after or prior the latest update?
    • What were the updates that have been installed on your computer?
    • Have you installed any software prior to the issue?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps you've tried to resolve your concern?
    • Can you provide us a screenshot of the grey box?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you create a new user profile and see if the issue persists on it. Here is the
    article on how to create a one.

    We're looking forward to your response.
