    Selecting desktop gives a white outlined box instead of blue transparent box

    FYI:

    And the specific setting is "Show translucent selection rectangle" - To be enabled.

    What I have tried

    (Un/re)selecting "Show translucent selection rectangle" and (re)applying.

    Selecting the radial button "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer" and (re)applying

    Changing Themes

    Resetting PC

    Clean Install

    Updates?

    No more to do =)

    Replicate?

    System -> System Properties -> Performance Options -> Check “Show translucent selection rectangle” -> Click and drag the desktop as shown in ‘image.png’

    TLDR?

    See “image.png” attachment

    See “system.png” attachment
