Hi, I have 2 users that have suffered from this problem. Windows Explorer displays a white bar at the top and doesn't display correctly. A reboot solves the issue, restarting the process does not. You can interact with the area where the white bar is, it simply doesn't display correctly. Moving the window around, the white bar only shows in Windows Explorer, no other apps. Both are using HP desktops but completely different models, one is an HP ProDesk 400 G3 Mini the other a HP Z240 Tower Workstation. I uninstalled/reinstalled the latest driver for each computer from the HP website with no success. The issue is random and intermittent. Any suggestions?

Have a great day !
this is also happening on windows server 2016 (terminal server)
We have been seeing the same issue with multiple users. Seems to happen with Chrome and File Explorer windows, maybe with other applications as well. The hardware is all over the place, with one user using an HP Z4 workstation (Xeon, Nvidia Quadro GPU, four monitors) and another user using an HP ProBook 450 (Core i7, Intel integrated GPU, integrated display + one external monitor). Both are using Windows 10 1803. With the ProBook I have spent the last few weeks jumping through hoops with HP support, reinstalling the OS, updating drivers, upgrading the UEFI firmware, changing BIOS settings etc. but none of it has made any difference. The only thing that seems to be consistent is that each user experiencing this issue is using a variety of monitor sizes and resolutions.

Your situation sounds the same as mine. I believe the issue is with Windows itself.
