Windows 10: Windows are showing some numbers while opening start menu

Hello, I have a problem that sometimes on startup when I'm opening start menu I can see these numbers, I know that the first few numbers are date, but what are others? I covered some numbers, because I don't if its a confidential information or not.I reinstalled windows recently due to other problems but similar number was appearing before as it does now.Is this a problem that I should try and fix or I should ignore it?

Taskbar hides and shows itself after opening start menu.

Steps:

1. Using HDMI for a second monitor.
2. Open start menu using the icon.
3. Close start menu using the icon.
4. Click anywhere other than the task bars. (e.g. an open window, the desktop, even the first monitor's desktop)
   
5. Taskbar on second monitor slides down to be hidden.
6. Taskbar then immediately slides up to reappear.

If after closing the start menu (step 3), you click on the taskbar, then click outside the taskbar, this behavior does not occur.

Performing the steps on the main monitor's taskbar does not produce this behavior.

This has been happening for as long as I can remember using this laptop (~3years), with different nVidia drivers and Windows 10 updates.
