  1. White bar covering the top portion of my Main monitor screen


    An odd bug is happening to me on my main monitor. I currently have two monitors and whenever I open a tab that's already maximized, it has this wide white/transparent bar at the top that make it impossible to use some apps. I have a work around this, when I Press F11 to fullscreen it (it still has the white bar at fullscreen) and press F11 again, it fixes itself. However, this only seems to work on google chrome so far. What's odd is it only happens to some apps and only on my main monitor. My second monitor does not have this issue whatsoever. I've never had this problem before around this weekend.

  2. 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?

  3. 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?
