Answer 1

Hi, good day!

I'll be asking a few questions so I can have a better idea what solutions to provide.

• When was the last time it worked properly?
• Have you made any changes to your computer recently?
• Can you take a screenshot of the issue and post it in your next response?

Note: Don't include any personal information or sensitive data as Microsoft Q&A is a public forum.

Answer 2

Does it appear in File Explorer, desktop icons, and web browsers?

Have you tried using a different browser to check if the problem still persists?

Please try to test in Safe Mode with Networking

If the box still appears everywhere, a third-party utility may be drawing it
