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,

    Thank you for all the information that you've provided. I just would like to clarify what is the version of your Video Card Driver so we can reproduce the issue and investigate further. You can have it checked by performed these steps:

    1. On your keyboard, press the Window button + R to open the Run box.
    2. When the Run box opens, key in devmgmt.msc and press Enter.
    3. On the Device Manager window, expand Display adapters.
    4. Right click on your Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) driver (e.g. Nvidia Geforce, AMD Radeon, MSI GeForce, etc.) and click Properties.
    5. On the Properties window, click on the Driver tab to be able to get the Driver Version.

    We'll be waiting for your response.

    Nice one Jim,

    Will provide more info tonight when i'm home.

    The icon problem is annoying, but my pc freezing when opening Windows Store in pissing me off more :)

    Got a couple of games in there, and can't install them since i did a fresh install Windows 10.

    You would think MS tests these updates before going live.

    I see topic after topic with my new WSAPPSX problem, but no one has a solution.

    Not even MS.

    EDIT: Since i did a clean install yesterday, i just reverded 1803 back to 1709.

    All my problems are gone! Icons are not dissapearing behind taskbar, i can run Windows Store no problem pc is not freezing.

    I think i'm gonna stick at 1709 for a while and keep reading this post.

    Untill it's fixed i will not go back to 1803.

    What exactly is the trash software that you talk about, can you elaborate your coment? Or are you trying to be smart when you are not and thincking that knows for what this software is for!

    For the topic: The issue still presented with or without 3rd party softwares...

    This is the way it is at moment.

    This is a mess... and if i use the hidden icon feature is even worst.
