Windows 10: Windows 10 dialogue boxes wont clear off screen when closed

Recently, I have started to notice that if I copy/Move or delete files in Windows 10 explorer, the 'copying' etc dialogue box will display, gets to 100% and then acts as tho the window has closed I can access anything behind the window in a explorer folder window BUT the actual dialogue box doesn't clear from the screen. I have to then start Task Manager and restart Explorer.exe to clear it from the screen.

This also happens when I start Outlook, and the Reminders window pops up, I dismiss all, but the window stays onscreen.


I've run sfc /scannow command, it repaired corrupt files, and then I restarted my PC. However, this hasn't fixed the problem at all. I'm running the latest version of Insider Previeew build.


Any help would be appreciated. I really do not want to do a fresh install of windows 10

Text invisible in programs dialogue box on Windows 10

Hi Mike,

Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

Let us know if the issue persists with other program dialogue boxes as well.

This might be a temporary issue on your computer.

I suggest you to sign-in out from the current user account, restart the computer, sign-in and check if the issue persists.

Also, try to install all the pending updates on your device and check if it helps.

Steps:

• Connect to the internet.
• Press Windows key and type updates.
• Click on Check for updates.
• Under Windows Updates, click on Check for updates.
• Try to install the updates being shown.

Hope it helps. Update us the status of accessing text in program dialogue boxes for further assistance.

Thank you.

Audio socket dialogue box

Dear Jon,

Thanks for the detailed instructions.

Concerning Method 1:

First, Windows Key + X - Control Panel does appear in the list.

I accessed it by Typing "Control Panel" in the search field next to the Start Button on the Task Bar.

Then after selecting "Hardware and Sound" the Realtek HD Audio Manager does not appear in the list.

Apparently this is a well known issue with Windows 10. I have not taken steps to resolve that issue yet.

Concerning Method 2:

I have followed your instructions carefully but it did not resolve the issue.

I was able to resolve the issue of getting the Audio Popup Dialogue Box to reappear in the following way:

Windows Key + X then I selected the Device Manager.

From the "Sound, video & game controllers" I right clicked "Realtek Audio" and selected Properties.

In the dialogue box that appeared I selected the Driver tab and clicked on Update driver.

I clicked on "Browse my computer for driver software" and "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"

Then I selected "Realtek Audio" and clicked Next.

Windows then reinstalled the drivers.

After doing this the "Which device did you plug in" dialogue box appeared when I plugged something into the audio socket.

So the immediate issue of getting the dialogue box back is solved but the Realtek HD Audio Manager still does not appear in the list of Hardware and Sound from the Control Panel. Any advice you can give to resolve that issue I would greatly appreciate.

Thanks for all you help so far. I hope this finds you well.
