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 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.

    I personally haven't encountered that Explorer object selection problem. However, if I'm able to reproduce any repeatable Windows 10 problem on multiple computers, I will file a support ticket on it.

    Not sure if this bug was already listed, but there is a high chance if returning from a game to desktop, that after it, Windows Explorer is broken and doesnt show selection colors anymore. If you select anything it isnt marked with a different background anymore, and you cant see, what files are selected. Only way to fix this is to reboot Windows. You also have no manual select checkboxes anymore in this broken state. It then looks like this:

    How it should look, and look after reboot:

    Checkbox there (not empty), and correct background color of selected files.

    Windows 10 is full of these bugs and I could name at least 5 more of these, which make Windows 10 unusable and no one cares to fix them, no one. They are present now over 2 years and since beta of Windows 10.

    It seems to me, the Windows 10 team is way too small (Nutella fired them all) and also, the good old people, who learned how to program, how to debug, how to test... are all gone and retired now, and these young people now working at MS have never told or learned to to properly test code, and have no real knowledge to code bug free or at least try to.

    It's funny in college I had an internship doing software release testing where I tested for issues just like this by feeding in various inputs and commands.

    In my programming classes I very frequently had sizing issues with various menus and such when creating GUIs. It would take me days to figure out the issue and I often had to get help. So I somewhat know the frustrations with a problem like this, though they are professional programmers, I am not. And I don't think it ever took me month to resolve.

    Turned out I was just not cut out for software development and went into IT security.

    I have seen the queues of tickets that build up and the prioritization that had to be done where issues like this are behind hundreds of other things that are more critical. Software development is no easy task.
