Windows 10: Invisible Window on Desktop (Windows 10)

I actually wanted to post an answer to my question that I was able to resolve.


The problem: The problem I kept having was this invisible window would show up after a windows update. It was obviously a program window, however, I couldn't move it or resize it or close it. There wasn't a program process showing up in Task Manager. Just this window. I did all of the suggestions of starting in safe mode etc. to try and figure out "What freaking program is running??!??" so I could shut it down. After many attempts and frustrations and searches all over the internet, I finally found out a possibility. For me this was the solution. I will post a screenshot of my desktop with the invisible window for reference.


The Solution: For me the solution is my Nvidia GEForce Experience is trying to install or update new drivers. However, it doesn't show up in your Task Manager as the opened invisible window. Just open your GEForce Experience program. Update your drivers and restart your computer. The window should no longer be on the desktop. And you don't need to go insane trying to figure out what program the invisible window is running. Now you know. It's your graphic card just trying to update your drivers. Good Luck for those of you who have had this problem and couldn't find the answer easily.


As you can see the outline of the window once I clicked on it. It's crazy invisible if not clicked.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
