Windows 10 Taskbar bug presented in 1709, worst on 1803 upgrade

Anonymous

Hello, my issue is, when after i close any game or any fullscreen application my taskbar icons (close to the clock) it becomes blurry and some disappear...

It should look like this...

After i close a game it turns into blurry icons and some disappear, at this stage is there other bug, it not let me take any PrintScreen, when i try to send the picture to the Paint it becomes a black picture, cant take any desktop picture or fix the blurry icon, unless i reboot computer...

Differences between upgrades:

1709 the issue is almost the same, but its only on the blurry icons.

1803 there are 3 issues, the blurry icons, a few disappear and cant take desktop PrintScreen

I hope you Devs can tell something about it...

PS: This is not important since the update is not released yet, but there is other issue that i find in 1803 with AMD driver, the latest 18.3.4 the system wount boot, it stays stuck on Windows logo, 18.3.3 and older updates works like a charm

PS2: The issue is not on my end, the issue is presented on 7 machines with random hardwares.

hi yesterday I tried to test with all the comic updates and with FarCry 5 at 1080p returning to the desktop screen that is native to 4k did not give me that problem, fatality? I will speak again and let you know...

No, it isn't fixed. What is your display scaling set to for the 3840x2160 resolution? If it's 100% you won't see the issue after resolution changes. The issue is triggered by changes to the scaling percentage. My 3840x2160 scaling is 150% (recommended), and after I play a 1080p game that changes the scaling to 100% during gameplay, the switch back to 150% after the game ends triggers the problem.

My notification icons after gaming (took these screenshots just now):

And then after changing the display scaling to 175% and then back to 150%:

Jason the MS escalation guy left me a voicemail yesterday; I'm going to call him back today.

Hi everyone,

I appreciate all the input and details that you've shared. I will have this added on our notes, as we are still investigating on the issue. As I've mentioned previously, our developers are aware of the issue and they are still working on a fix. However, while waiting for the fix, as a workaround I suggest that you configure the display scaling at 100 temporarily. As promised before, I'll keep everyone posted on this thread for any updates.

Best regards,

I also have not seen this issue. I will try to test when I get some time.

As for blurry icons. Tonido, Windows Defender, related audio, and Intel RST have all gone blurry at one time or another. Steal and AMD appear unaffected.
