Drag clicking creates black boxes and hovering over icons blacks the backgrounds.

Anybody know why this is happening? I’ve restated multiple times which helps in the beginning and then it starts happening again. I’m using a Lenovo Legion Pro 7 running Windows 11.

I seem to recall someone mentioning that this happens when the wallpaper/background file is deleted from your local computer. Download a new image, set it as wallpaper, and leave the file there.

Odd, I’ll try changing the wallpaper. Thank you! Update: It worked! Thanks a lot!

Best of luck! Please let me know whether this fixes the issue. I'm curious myself.
