    Windows search box graphical glitch that appeared seemingly out of nowhere... Any potential...


    Hi,A few days ago, I have been having this weird windows search bar graphical glitch from my recently purchased laptop Zephyrus G15 2021. The laptop has the most recent Windows updates with a fresh install to clean out unnecessary software from OEMs, as well as all the latest essential OEM updates from ASUS such as ROG Armoury and MyAsus. The problem I have been having occurs after every bootup either restart or simply signing out of Windows and logging back in, you will see the search bar white with black highlights. When you mouse over the search box, it goes back to the default dark

    :)

  3. Weird graphical text editor glitch in a dual monitor setup on windows 10

    My dearest superusers,

    I have a very weird graphics 'glitch' for certain IDE's or editors, like TexStudio and Spyder. It happens that certain lines or words overlap with each other, and sometimes certain lines have different fontsizes even (not shown in next image)

    Screenshot for one example of overlapping words:

    Windows search box graphical glitch that appeared seemingly out of nowhere... Any potential... KLWUi.png


    It happens usually in my secondary monitor (LG Flatron E2350V), but if I remember correctly, it had appeared on my primary as well. My primary is just the one of my laptop (HP Pavilion - 14-al125nd). What I have noticed (from what I remember) is:

    • When the problem appeared in Spyder in primary monitor, it was
      sometimes solved by saving the python file
    • When the problem appeard in Spyder in secondary monitor, it was
      sometimes solved by maximizing the window.
    • And at times none of the above methods worked for no monitor.
    • When I drag one of the text environments (texStudio or Spyder) from monitor 1 to monitor 2, the text transitions into the glitched version.
    • Also,some IDEs like Matlab, never experienced this problem. (And till now, I have never seen the problem elsewhere
    • As far as I know, these two programs are the only ones where the glitch appeared.
    • Lately, the problem does not appear in first monitor, but it still does in second one.

    This suggests that the problem is time-varying and possibly also varies in its characteristcs.

    To solve the problem, I've tried to:

    • update to latests graphics drivers, both my integraded Intel card (HD
      Graphics 620), as well as my dedicated Nvdia GeFore 940MX card.
    • Otherwise I've tried to search online but frankly, I do not really
      know the right search terms to find the same problem. Therefore I
      hope to find some answers or suggestions on this site!

    Just to be clear, my question is what causes and/or what can potentially solve the problem?
    Of course I do not know what information could be used/required to answer this question, so if there are any questions of additional details that I did not mention, please ask.

    Sidenote: I am not sure whether my tags are correct either. Feedback is appreciated.

    Graphical(?) glitch happening, windows 10

    Hello Shado,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I request you to try the following steps:



    Uninstall and Reinstall the Graphics Card Drivers.

    Step 1: Uninstall the Graphics Card
    Drivers


    • Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.

    • Click on “Device Manager” from that list.

    • Search for the Graphics Card
      from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove the corrupted drivers
      from the computer.

    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
    After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.



    Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:



    Step 2: Go to the Computer or Graphics Card
    manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the
    Graphics Card model and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.



    I hope this helps you. If you have any further query in future, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.



    Thank you.
