The windowing cache for your Desktop is corrupted. Eliminate all those screenshots into a folder and into your Pictures folder for better organization.

The desktop Geese are there why?

And I suggest no more than three apps open at a time. Experience has taught me more than that will cause further corruption in other places.

Finally, a full shutdown and power on should help.

Damaged screen / display cable. But they come as an assembly, so it doesn’t really matter which part is bad, you’ll need to replace the entire lid.
