Hi Nahla

I'm Christine, a Windows user like you. I'll do my best to help you.

Looks like your desktop is displaying something unusual. Let me help you with that.

Is it possible for you to take screenshot of it or describe what exactly are you seeing?

When did the issue started? Is there any changes made?

1. For now, please try to refresh the explorer.exe and check if that would help:

On Windows 11:

Right click on start menu and choose Task Manager

Click Details Tab and end the task of explorer.exe

Then click Run New Task and type explorer.exe and hit enter

On Windows 10

Right click on start menu and choose Task Manager

Click Details Tab and end the task of explorer.exe

Hit File then click Run new Task and type explorer.exe and press enter

2. Update or Reinstall the Display driver

Please press the Windows key + X

Then click Device manager

Kindly expand the Display Adapters

Right click and choose "Update Driver automatically"

If the issue persists Choose "Browse my computer for driver"

and click the older version of driver

If it will still the same, please uninstall it and restart your device. (It will reinstall the driver after the restart)
