Windows 10: Strange Behavior Viewing Images On Desktop

This is really weird, I'll click on a desktop image, it opens and I'll see it for maybe 7 seconds, then it switches to another image on my desktop! Been happening maybe 3 months. It doesn’t happen if the images are in a folder. here's a video of it happening I put on dropbox, you have to click it to starthttps://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/sn5cie1z ... egovw&dl=0

Strange Desktop Behavior

Running Win10 with Open-ShellShortcuts can be placed on the desktop. But when you hover over a desktop icon a rectangular area about 1" highand half the desktop width changes to a blue lighter than the desktop blue.This seems to be strange behavior.Has anyone else experienced this?
Did you resolve this behavior ?

Desktop has a strange look and behavior!

Hello,

There has been a lot of changes on my desktop view. I have no idea how and why the following changes took place of my Windows unexpectedly. It has happened suddenly last week while I was working in my laptop, before the changes that took affect on my desktop
view - everything looked fine since I upgraded Windows 10 last year. The major changes are:

• Desktop: Desktop icons including all shortcuts are not visible anymore though 'Show desktop icons' is marked as checked. My desktop is occupied by
  Virtual Desktop (in full screen with live tiles), context menu cannot view by pressing the keyboard button or right clicking on desktop.
  

• Virtual desktop: My virtual desktop has gone in full screen and cannot resize from the
  Start, before changes it was not full.

• All apps open in full screen. 'Restore down' button does not work, for some apps - 'Minimize button' does not work. For many apps 'Close button' can only be visible while hover over the pointer and then the bar slide down with close (X)
  button visible.

• Taskbar: Taskbar auto hide does not work properly. Taskbar looks odd. It is not only because there are too many pinned items in taskbar. The problem is the 'Back arrow' key is staying at taskbar which is suppose to be in bottom of 'All
  apps' list. And the search icon also in the taskbar, which should not be there because I removed it from the options. The major problem is I cannot look for taskbar
  'Properties'. Because it is gone and replaced by an unknown menu when I right click the taskbar.
  

I have taken 'Cumulative updates' for my Windows yesterday. It does not help fix the problems yet. I am sharing some screenshots of all screen views of the issues including last Windows update lists in the folder from OneDrive for better understanding.

I seek your expert advice on this issue, please. Any help on this will be thankfully appreciated.

Very best regards,
