Windows 10: White bar covering portions of Windows Explorer, Firefox and some other Applications.

Hi,


I have a number of users suffering from this problem, it occurs randomly and some users get it 5 or 6 times a day and other once every few months. We have tried every solution we could find online and the only thing that sorts it temporarily is Ctrl+Shift+Win+B command to reset the graphics driver.


Other people have reported similar issues here:

Is Microsoft aware of this issue? I heard mention that it is a glitch within windows and will need to be patched by MS. Any news on this at all?

White bar covering top portion of Windows Explorer on Windows 10

Hi, I have 2 users that have suffered from this problem. Windows Explorer displays a white bar at the top and doesn't display correctly. A reboot solves the issue, restarting the process does not. You can interact with the area where the white bar is,
it simply doesn't display correctly. Moving the window around, the white bar only shows in Windows Explorer, no other apps. Both are using HP desktops but completely different models, one is an HP ProDesk 400 G3 Mini the other a HP Z240 Tower Workstation.
I uninstalled/reinstalled the latest driver for each computer from the HP website with no success. The issue is random and intermittent. Any suggestions?

 

White bar covers menu and favorites

Using Firefox or Chrome, a white bar covers the menu and favorites bar, and the address bar.

Edge and IE function just fine.

This does no happen on my wife's computer which is the same setup/update level as mine.

The only event that coincides with this problem (roughly) is that I subscribed to World grid, a volunteer network which uses my computer's idle time.

Any clues?
