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.

    The problem with restarting the Windows Explorer process, is it doesn't necessarily bring all of the icons back.

    Before:

    After:

    100% display scaling is also not an option for me...I'm not in my twenties any more :/

    Hi everyone,

    Just would like to have an update if do you still experience the issue on the latest update released? Please have it checked if you still experience the same issue when updating to the latest update so I can have this added on the investigation that I submitted.

    Hope to hear everyone's feedback.

    EJ, do you mean this update?

    June 5, 2018—KB4338548 (OS Build 17134.83)

    Issue is still present in that build. In fact, here's a faster way to reproduce it (this assumes you're using a UHD monitor with 150% scaling):

    1. Log in fresh, tray icons are good
    2. Right-click desktop --> Display Settings --> Change scaling to 100%
    3. Check that all tray icons are still there, albeit with extra spacing around right and bottom edges
    4. Right-click desktop --> Display Settings --> Change scaling to 150% (Recommended)
    5. Check that tray icons are borked again

    Problem still exists for me in the newest update.

    Not sure it matters, but I'm running on a 4k screen. My computer that runs on a 1080 screen doesn't seem to have the same issue.
