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

    The better work around is to disable the hide feature and just let them all be displayed on the taskbar. I agree that using 100% scaling is not practical. I currently use 400%, I'm connected to a 55" UHD TV, 100% would be too small.

    Don't listen to that moron suggestion to use scaling at 100. You cant use scaling of 100 on a 4k laptop display.

    I highly recommend that you perform the workaround posted to keeping the scaling at 100

    Thanks EJ - while this does work-around the issue, it's not a realistic setting when using a UHD display, as the textual items are just too hard to read. That would have been fine in my 20s...

    UHD desktop

    From working with Jason (the Sr. escalation engineer guy), it is clear that multiple groups within Microsoft (as well as 3rd-parties) have a hand in this problem, and getting traction on fixing it is a bit like herding cats. Still, it baffles me that decision-makers at Microsoft allowed this into the wild in the first place. "First, do no harm" applies for software, too, and that this wasn't caught in QA in the first place, painfully illustrates either a total lack of it, or disregard for it.

    This is not a debilitating bug, but is a bit like selling new cars with dented fenders. You'd think someone at Microsoft would care.

    Thank you for these additional details Jim Harle (O365). I'll have this added on the investigation that we conducted about this concern. In the meantime, despite your computer being registered as an Insider, I highly recommend that you perform the word around posted to keeping the scaling at a 100 in the meantime while we still investigate this further. We appreciate you sharing further details on this issue.

    If you notice any other observations, please don't hesitate to reach out to me on this thread or post it here.

    Best regards,
