I'm just going to put this as briefly as I can.
I've been having THIS sort of thing happen to me lately:
I have my desktop wallpapers to show up on Start.
Every now and then, after I log in and go to my desktop, something just like that appears in the top left. Whenever I double-click it, it jumps over to the spot shown here.
After that, I cannot double-click it again or do ANYTHING about it. Except probably restart my computer.
And then we got this visual artifact that results from it:
At first I thought it MUST be a program or something that is doing this obnoxiously, but now I don't know where to look in the Task Manager. Ending all of my open apps won't fix it, so I assume it is a background process?
Not only that, but I also have multiple wallpapers in a slide show, so once it shifts to the next wallpaper, the strange bar will jump back to the top left, still unable to be manipulated with. The strangest part?
So I could certainly use some answers here.
But on to my next issue.
What happens every now and then is that a prompt for Windows Backup (requiring administrator permission...yes, those prompts) will appear out of nowhere. Very obnoxiously, I might add. If I hit Yes, it will go to this:
In the Action Center, this is there:
Trying to click Options will bring me to the same screen before. What options? Am I missing something?
Bottom line is that it won't stop giving me a prompt at random times. Over and over. Asking me to do something.
That'll be all.
So any assistance help on this?
As a side note, I upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7, and then updated to 8.1.
