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

    This is actually a more accurate description of what I'm experiencing. I have a 4K monitor but run many games at 1080p. My scaling is also at 250% which is recommended. Switching scaling to 100% seems to fix it temporarily as well. It would be really nice if Microsoft were to fix this as this wasn't present before the most recent update and it makes using Windows 10 a pain because I use this computer to play a decent amount of games.

    I have the exact same problem, looking for days now to fix it but no luck.

    In the 1709 build of Windows 10 no problem at all, in 1803 my notifications are hiding apps like Steam/ Discord behind my taskbar.

    After i switch from any DPI scaling the problems fixed for a little while.

    Or i have to shut the apps down with taskmanager.

    Running a GTX1080 with a 4K monitor at 4K resolution.

    Hope they can fix this soon.

    I'm having this exact same issue and it's been driving me nuts. Please fix this Microsoft, it was fine before the most recent update.

    This smells like the issue I reported (using the Feedback Hub) during the Insider Preview of Windows 10 Version 1803 (multiple builds). It received no traction.

    I’m running a custom-built PC with an Nvidia GTX 1080 graphics card, connected via DisplayPort to a UHD monitor.  Windows display scaling is set to 150% (Recommended).

    Here are my system tray icons after a fresh logon:  https://i.imgur.com/ZVcJzF9.png

    After such activities as:

    • An RDP session to my PC (I connect to it remotely from a MacBook Pro laptop, using Microsoft’s current Remote Desktop client)
    • A Gamestream session using an Nvidia Shield
    • A Steam Link SBP session
    • Things that temporarily change the screen resolution

    My system tray icons get messed up, in that a portion of them disappear, and the icon spacing becomes more “compressed.”

    Here are my system tray icons after getting messed up:  https://i.imgur.com/80T7stB.png

    The only way I’ve found to correct this condition, is to log out and log back in to Windows.  The condition can be “temporarily corrected” by changing the Windows display scaling to either 125% or 100%, which of course is not desirable.  Additionally, I’ve found that the system tray icons seem to all be visible inside an RDP session, albeit with extra spacing.  When I’m back on the “console” of the PC, the system tray icons are messed up again.

    These issues did not happen with previous versions of Windows 10.

    The number of TRASH software installed on your computer is ridiculous. It amazes me how people destroy their computers...
