  2. Taskbar menu artifacts

    I have added menus to the taskbar in Windows 10, just as I did with Windows 7.
    In both systems there are artifacts, seen here:

    Taskbar Artifacts 130547d1492431594t-taskbar-menu-artiifacts-taskbar.menu.artifacts.jpg


    When the taskbar is unlocked (upper image), the menus appear properly. But in the unlocked state it's all too easy to mess things up with an errant mouse stroke, so I like to lock the taskbar.

    When the taskbar is locked (lower image), the menus show artifacts. Each menu artifact is a portion of the first icon in that menu.

    In Win 7 I could (sometimes) eliminate the artifacts by unlocking, moving the menus around, then relocking. This often required multiple random-walks involving shifts and moves, and a bunch of dumb luck. But eventually the menus would appear like this:

    Taskbar Artifacts 130548d1492432025t-taskbar-menu-artiifacts-taskbar.menu.fixed.jpg

    I could usually get this clean result in Win 7, but I cannot in Win 10.
    (That last screen shot is a fake. I Photoshopped it to make clear what I'm talking about.)

    Is there a fix for this?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Set the custom toolbars but leave the taskbar alone, as in, leave it locked.
