Windows 10: Lock screen vertical drawing artifacts descending from image description box - still unresolved

Original post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/lock-screen-vertical-drawing-artifacts-descending/ef0d1e61-b783-46cb-8e15-514c6777ca4c Although this error can also be seen on my lock screen. I have already tried 3 drivers very old - newest but it doesn't change it. I've been testing it for a long time and this discrepancy does not appear anywhere else, only on the lock screen.I also reported through the Feedback Center.

See the attached image of a Windows 11 lock screen. I clicked on the background image description box, and when it appeared, there are vertical smudge lines descending from it all the way to the bottom of the screen. It doesn't cause any functional problems, but it looks sloppy.

Hello VinceO,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

Are you seeing similar artifacts anywhere else apart from Lock Screen too?

While you are at it please give this a go.

Please try these steps.

Open device manager by pressing windows and X keys together and clicking on device manager.

click on display drivers and right click on your display adapter device.

Click on update device.

Click on "Browse my computer for drivers"

Click on "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"

You should see a list containing all available drivers for your device including previous drivers.

Choose the one below the selected driver in the list.

Click on Next and let the driver install.

Close the windows and reboot your device.

Check if the issue has been resolved.

That would be a good option but if the artifacts are showing up elsewhere too then it will be an issue with the display adapter drivers or the adapter itself.
