Thin blue square on icons


I removed the arrow from my desktop icons, but i see there is now a thin blue square around most icons. The blue line seems useless and clutters the icon. Does anyone know how to get rid of those blue lines? And why do they appear on some icons and not on others?

 

Blue Squares with Dots on Boot - New Setup

I haven't gotten another BSOD. However, after uninstalling iCUE (Chroma-Controlled Application) which was displaying errors on my MEMORY.DMP (BSOD Forum) i still found a Blue Square during Boot today which forced me to manually restart.

The BSOD Team also noted Razer Chroma SDK displaying similar errors as well. However, i'm going one step at a time to determine the main cause. I've just turned off Hibernation & Fast Startup and will report any updates the following days in hopes it's the main cause and doesn't produce further problems.

In case it continues, next still step will be to uninstall Razer Chroma SDK as well. If the scenario persists, i'm totally out of ideas as reports are not showing anything else related to the booting process presenting errors.

 

Gray Square on Desktop - Frozen Cursor

Here's today's update.

Starting with yesterday, uninstalled all of my recent Windows Updates and any other Update from any other application (mostly Adobe) and then I did a clean boot start. Got thru that fairly quickly (remember, I am technically challenged) but I got 'er done
and when the laptop restarted, the issue was there again. The laptop automatically started to download and install the latest Windows Update and I didn't stop it. I uninstalled a few programs and shortened by startup list of apps, still the square and gray
circles were there. I then ran a series of malware and virus scans from various apps all resulting with no issues. I also had a 'Fix Me Stick' which I ran and resulted in nothing to fix. So worked through my day, swiping the square and gray circles away from
my display until I went to bed last night.

This morning, I started up the Dell and began working - but no square and no circles. I worked all day on the laptop using Photoshop, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Excel and NO SQUARE AND NO CIRCLES ALL DAY!

I do not know what has happened nor what fixed this issue but it suddenly has stopped. I will watch if the 'crop circles and square' returns and if so, I'll update this question again.

Thanks to all who contributed with possible solutions and corrective action steps for me to follow. All contributions and suggestions were and are gratefully accepted and very much appreciated.

Cheers!
