Option menus gone see through?

[boldleonidas]

Hi all,

Sorry to ask, but I need some help!

I have recently been having some problems with 'options boxes' being clear. For example when I right click on chrome, all the options can't be seen? Only the shadow around the edge. This is the same in every program and even on the windows task bar.

I am using Windows 10 with a GTX 970 and my Monitor is hooked up via HDMI.

I thought this might be to do with the graphics card somehow?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

one simple possibility is the system is just out of memory, regardless of total RAM. PCs don't always fully clean up the ram when programs close. a clean reboot (start/shutdown) should fix the issue

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately this doesn't work, I am regularly shutting down and have checked the ram usage. Always reappears.

Sounds more like a setting in Windows 10 to me. I only have Win 7, but you could try this: right-click on desktop, choose personalize, select window color, un-check Enable Transparency.

Another option: Control panel/Performance info&tools/Adjust visual effects/visual effects tab/ select "let windows choose what's best for my computer"

Worth a shot...

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately it's clear this isn't a setting as it doesn't happen all the time.
