Windows 10: How can i turn off this border around the app icon.

When I log into my pc, everything is normal except the gray translucent border around my app, which usually was blue. But now whenever I click on an icon it has this pixel outline around the box and it doesnt go away unless I switch off the desktop onto another application. Does anyone know how to fix this.

Disabling automatic black and white borders applied to photo thumbnails and native photo apps

Hi Jacob,

One of the possible reasons why you see borders on thumbnail previews is because of its
image size. To better assist you with this issue, we need the answers to following questions:

• Do all of your pictures have the same image size?
• Does the border also apply to videos in File Explorer?

In the meantime, you can try to change the icon size to see if the borders on images will disappear. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

• Right-click on your desktop and click on View.
• Select Small icons.
• Check File Explorer to see if the thumbnails still have borders.

We are looking forward to your response.
