Windows 10: How to fix white bars on Windows 10 desktop?

Hello, Microsoft Community!I've been experiencing this for about 2-3 years now, and it's kind of annoying. I like to keep my desktop looking clean and minimalistic, but sadly, that is very difficult due to this white bar on my desktop. Up to two white bars appear in a random position near one or both of the two left corners. One of the bars usually hides my icons and reveals them once I double-click on it. The other one just sits there and looks messy.Microsoft's instructions say to include system information, so here it is:OS: Windows 10 Home 22H2CPU: Intel Core i5_10210UGPU: Intel UHD Integr
