    Windows 10 update/backup icon overlay [​IMG]


    Hello everyone!

    There is an icon in the bottom right corner of my screen, which looks like an update or backup icon. I don't know what it is, but it displays over everything, which is annoying and when I try to screenshot it, it doesn't show up in the screenshot, that's why I had to take a photo with my phone. I already changed monitor, because I thought if it doesn't display on the screenshot, it could be from somewhere else. It always shows on monitor number 1 and still shows up in the bottom right corner, if my taskbar is moved to the top or sides. My GPU drivers are up to date. This is just very annoying, because I can't really read the time or date anymore. I can't click it. I haven't found similar problems on the internet yet, is there anybody, who has the same problem and how can I solve it?

    Best wishes Jany

    :)

    Icon overlays in Windows 10

    Hi,

    There are currently 15 slots allotted for icon overlays in the system image list of Windows 10. 4 of these are reserved for the system, and OneDrive uses 5, leaving six slots for use by other icon overlay handlers. If more than 15 icon overlays are registered
    in the system, the extra icon overlays aren't used. This limit of 15 overlay icons applies to Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10.

    Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions about your computer.
