Windows 10: Perpetual movement of highlight box in windows context areas

Youtube video explaining the issue: https://youtu.be/MBMyydYZPOg



Just to reiterate the video, there seems to be a phantom left arrow being activated when I go into windows context areas and I want to deactivate this.

This is happening in as far as I'm aware:

- Start Menu

- Task Bar

- Snipping Tool

- Potentially other windows 10 context areas.


This shows up as a white box that flickers and travels left every time I right click.


This is NOT a hardware issue.


This does NOT occur in windows explorer, control panel, browser, desktop. It only seems to occur in the new windows 10 contexts/interfaces, does not occur on the legacy contexts/interfaces that have carried over from windows 7 nor does it occur on any installed applications.

This is likely to be due to a shortcut key that I accidentally pressed.


Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

:)

Windows 10 right click context box text corrupted

Starting sometime in August 2016, the context box that appears when I hover over a menu item with the mouse has a garbled reverse white on black fill that cannot be read.

It also happens on menu items of some programs but not all.

Several times I have been able to eliminate the problem but it always comes back after a short time.

On some programs, right-clicking on a menu selection brings up the context box as usual, but as I move the over listed selections (without selecting anything) the same garbled reverse white on black image appears. It stays there until I turn off the context
box.

This is happening on a new (Less than 1 year old) HP laptop.

Any suggestions?
