Yeah, I'm already at 60Hz too - still the same problem.
Why are my excel popup windows transparent?

For some reason, popup windows requiring dialogue are transparent, e.g. "Hide/Unhide" worksheets in a workbook. Eventually they appear normal, but very annoying. Affects other popup boxes as well.

2023-03-07T07:31:02+00:00 I found that the problem may be related to the refresh rate of display. If set it to 60 Hz or dynamic (60hz & 120 Hz) it will reduce the chances of transparent pop up. Probably linked to intel graphic driver issue because I am using Surface Laptop Studio.

Found that right clicking on the “transparent” window menu bar resolves on a case by case basis.
Still needs to be acknowledged and fixed by Microsoft.
