Windows 10: Floating transparent box on Windows 11

So I have this weird floating transparent box hovering over the taskbar. If I hover my mouse over this transparent box, it shows a loading cursor, as if I am launching a program. Any clue what it can be?

Floating Transparent Magnifying Glass in Windows 10

Greetings,

Thank you for getting back to my email. Please try the following steps below.

1. Open Magnifier.

2. You can change your magnifier view by pressing Ctrl + Alt + M – this will cycle through full screen mode, a floating transparent magnifying glass, or docked.

this should open the transparent floating window.

Press the Windows logo key + Plus (+) or Minus (-) to zoom in and out.

Hope this helps, Please let me know how it goes,

Have a great day ahead, stay safe.

Sincerely,

 

Floating Transparent Magnifying Glass in Windows 10

I just upgraded from Windows 10 1903 to Windows 10 2004 Update and have lost the floating transparent magnifier icon when I activate the magnify function. I now get a persistent menu bar for magnifier which takes up way too much screen area.

It looks as if Microsoft has removed the "Collapse Magnifier window to a floating transparent magnifying glass" in the options with this update.

Is there a way to get the transparent floating magnifying glass icon back again?

 

Transparent windows in Linux?

Ok, I've been looking at some screenshots of Linux, and somehow they manage to get transparent windows.
I've been doing some research on Google, but didn't find anything on how to make my windows transparent!
So, does anyone know how to make them transparent? (as in, being able to see the window behind another window, text "floating" above the desktop, etc)
