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

    btw the problem is fixed if i restart the explorer process

    Indeed that action is similar to a logoff/logon to "refresh" the system tray icons. In my case, though, when I restart the explorer process, the tray icon spacing does get "fixed," although there are several tray icons that don't come back.

    I can think of a couple of apps that restart the explorer process as part of their installation (Dropbox, Acronis), and I've always hated that.
