  1. Grey rectangle on top left of desktop / home screen


    There's a thin grey rectangle on the top left of my desktop screen that seems to cause my desktop apps to vanish. If I click on the rectangle and try to drag on it, an identical rectangle appears, but the original rectangle can't be moved. There's also a beeping noise when I click on it after dragging the second rectangle from it.The rectangle vanishes after I restart my computer, but appears again after some time. Are there any ways for me to permanently remove the rectangle?This is what the rectangles look like:

    :)

    Grey Rectangle in Top Left Corner of Desktop

    Hi Reuban,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Strange as it seems, something that is know to cause that gray rectangle at the top left of the Desktop, is the Bluetooth device driver, try re-installing that from the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website.

  3. how do i get rid of a small grey rectangle in my top left corner?

    Theres a small grey rectangle at the top left hand corner of my screen and i cant interact with it or get rid of it. The only thing i can do with it is change my wallpaper but then it flashes once. So it disappears for a second then comes back. How do i
    get rid of it?

    how do i get rid of a small grey rectangle in my top left corner?

    Its on the top left hand corner.

    I forgot to tell you but sometimes my apps are gone and theres a second grey rectangle that i can move but when i double click it my apps are there again. Sorry i cant get a screen shot of that situation but that doesn't happen anymore. When i double click
    the second rectangle the picture you see above this reply is what happens next and just stays like that.
