  1. How to remove mysterious grey box.


    I have a stray grey box kinda look like a transparent window in the lower right corner of the screen covering the Recycle Bin icon. It is unclickable and does not prevent me from clicking the Recycle Bin icon below it. It's not currently causing issues, as far as I can tell, apart from being randomly mysterious and irritating by virtue of its presence.How do I remove it?I am running Windows 11. I saw a few questions here already about grey boxes, but the screenshots show a different type of box in a different area of the screen. Since it is unclickable, Alt-F4 doesn't work. And I can't seem

    :)

  4. How to remove mysterious grey box.

    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.
