Windows 10: Random hidden outline in middle of screen, can't drag files in, can't right click.

I just got a new laptop, security is up to date and everything works smoothly. However recently I've noticed there's thisodd rectangular outline in the middle of the screen. I can't drag anything into it,can't right click on it, and when I click outside of it, itdisappears though is hidden very subtly where you can still see it very slightly. I tried clearing up any random storage thinking it might help but nothing exactly worked and I'm confused as to what's going on.


It's bothering me a lot and I have no idea what it is. This laptop which is a windows 10 model is brand new and works fine but this random outline just wont go away.


Any help I can get with this?

Windows 7 Snipping Tool / (Screen Shots-Capture)

1. In the Control Panel > Folder Options > View Tab first check ( tick ) the Show hidden files, folders and Drives and then Apply.
2. Now navigate to C:\ Program Data \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Start Menu \ Program.
   
3. Inside this Program folder , you will find the 'Accessories' folder.
4. Drag and drop the Accessories Folder on your Start Menu or All programs.

Did this work ?

If all works again i suggest to go back to Step 1 and re-select Don`t show hidden files. folders and Drives then Apply. so you don`t accidentally delete some of these.

Hi Nathan,

The issue might occur due to corrupted display drivers or incompatible drivers.

I suggest you to update display drivers from device manager and check if it helps.

To update the drivers, follow the steps below.

• 
  Type “Device Manager” in search box and press Enter.
  
• 
  Right click on the drivers for Display and Touchscreen and select Update.
  
• 
  Follow the on-screen prompts to update.
  

Please get back to us with the results in regards with black outline
dragged windows around on the desktop after and any other questions you might have regarding Windows operating systems. We are happy to assist.

OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
That's it. Good Luck.
