    semi-transparent bar on the side of the screen


    Since today, there has been a semi-transparent black box on the side of my screen. How do i close it? I have tried restarting the computer but it remains there. I don't think I enabled anything that lead to this. The bar would not show in screenshots, so I took a picture with my phone instead. Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Desktop background covered by semi-transparent screen

    My desktop suddenly looks like it has a semi-transparent screen over it. When I click on a program icon on the taskbar, my background will be normal for a second before the program I clicked on pops up.

    How to fix semi-transparent windows?

    https://i.imgur.com/7kr6dNV.png

    So, I've been having a little problem. Windows are appearing semi-transparent, meaning I can see through windows and see the underlying window. I've tried disabling transparency effects but this problem still persists and it's driving me insane. I want 100%
    opaque windows.
