Windows 10: Translucent sound control pop-ups periodically appear on the computer screen.

Translucent sound control pop-ups periodically appear on the computer screen. What could it be and how to get rid of it?

How to Stop Pop-Up Windows From Appearing Off-Screen?

I am on Win 10 version 1909 (OS Build 18363.592).

Almost every time I click on a browser link in which a pop-up box with more information is to appear, the window always winds up way offscreen. I have two screens, one the native laptop screen and the other an HDMI-attached monitor, but it doesn't matter which of the two screens the browser is in: the pop-up window goes way off the screen. When I click the browser's program box while open in the taskbar, I can see the window whizzing in from offscreen to minimize, and then whizzing back to the offscreen ether when I click it again.

I can manually bring the window back into view by shift/right-clicking on the program and choosing "maximize", but that's an extra step I wouldn't mind cutting out. What I really want is for the pop-up box to show up on the same screen in the first place, just like it did on my old (Windows 7) computer and, dare I say, as it is supposed to in the first place.

Is this a known issue with a known fix?

Bump. Anyone?

 

User Account Control Restart Computer Pop-Up

At my office we have an issue with the user account control protocol that shows a pop-up periodically. A notification appears for a very short time saying "You must restart your computer to turn off User Account Control" which we have done but the notification
continues to appear. We have UAC turned off through the group policy but the window still pops up occasionally on the 30 or so machines we have on the network. I included a picture of the error if it helps so any information would be appreciated!

 

Pop-up adverts have suddenly started to come up on my computer screen again.

Okay, thanks, Dave. I have followed steps 1 & 2 first. So far, so good, and no pop-ups have come up yet.



Regarding the list of websites that I have allowed producing notifications, they are all fine and friendly apps that I use. However, nowhere on this list is McAfee or any of the other notifications that had originally popped up on the lower right-hand side of my computer screen. Where will these settings be so I can disable them?
