    Thick, white focus rectangle appearing around controls


    Hi,

    I don't know when it started, but it's most visible when I'm activating jump lists from the task bar: A thick, white focus rectangle appears around the left-most icon (Windows explorer for me). It's basically the issue described here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...hen-left/e5309321-8625-410c-a08e-e79bd3a559dc

    However, for me it not only includes the taskbar icons. Every now and then, this white rectangle appears around other "modern" (UWP) controls.

    I know that this kind of focus rectangle also appears when navigating around UWP apps with the keyboard. However, the bug that I experience seems to be that this rectangle always appears even though I didn't initiate keyboard navigation (with the Tab key). For example, Firefox is in my foreground and a new Action center notification appears---big white border around it.

    I've tried enabling and disabling every setting that is remotely connected with accessibility, but so far I wasn't able to remove this.

    Is anyone else experiencing this and might have a clue what I can do to get rid of this?

    White rectangles on volume control, wifi connection, calendar menus

    I recently installed Windows 10 Pro to my PC. There are white borders/rectangles appearing in volume control, wifi connection menu, calendar (opened from taskbar right corner). Here are some screenshots.

    I've already tried disabling Keyboard->Enable shortcut underlines. It doesn't work. Is there a way to fix this ?

    White Rectangle

    I had a white rectangle show up in the top left hand corner of my desktop. It was quite annoying. I tried changing the wallpaper, and killing a few programs in task manager. In the end I restarted windows explorer and that fixed it. Some people killed
    other programs but those threads are locked. Hope it helped!
