Hey all, recently I started getting corrupted textures/artifacts in some of the programs on desktop but it has a weird behavior. Here's an example of how it looks in Rockstar Launcher and it's similar in other programs too, like Gog galaxy 2 etc.
This only happens in programs (not Windows apps or games) and not all programs either, but it's affecting more and more of them. Now these artifacts mostly dissapear when I mouse over the program, but then they start appearing when I move the mouse outside the window or if alt tab to another window. Sometimes they start appearing even mouse is within the window so no idea why.
I'm worried that it's a GPU problem but I've been using it for a year+ and this only started happening a few days ago. It's a GTX 1080 Palit Jetstream card, and I was experimenting with very light overclocking through MSI Afterburner some time before this started happening, but I wasn't getting any issues while overclock was active, so not sure if that's the cause. I'm not using any OC now except for the custom fan curve to make the GPU a bit cooler, but the issue persists regardless of whether Afterburner is on or not. I'm also using a 4k TV as a monitor so I thought it might be related to scaling since it only affects programs, but then again it wasn't happening until a few days ago. Anyone has any idea what it might be?
