White marking fots

[Danik11294]

When I mark programs on the desktop, I have small white dots there, but normally there is a blue rectangle

When using Select there usually are tiny dots but when selecting an object on the screen/desktop or area of the screen the box that is shown with the mouse pointer still there may be normal but depend upon the background/picture in use. Have you tested using different color backgrounds?

It's important to note the Desktop is not Static like a picture on the wall but Dynamic, always changing or being refreshed.

Yes, I tested custom themes, colors and wallpaper

Because I download a lot, and I need to move several applications at once.

Also, what version of Win 10 do you have, I don't have a problem marking an area on my desktop. You should be on version 2009 (20H2).

Im on lastes version. My version is 20H2. But I already had this bug on the old PC and on this PC I am logged in under the same microsoft account. Is it possible that it has something to do with this?

Anyone care to explain "marking" (and remaining permanently) . I can draw a square, it IS dotted, like that of the OP. But as soon as Iift the mouse button, it is gone.

Hi,

that is possible but I cannot say for sure, did you ever save any desktop settings to your MS account. I only use a local account as I find MS to be too nosey!.

Found this

Selection box/area on Desktop is transparent with dotted outline.

As the question says, the selection box/area on the desktop is transparent with a dotted outline as you can see in the image below. Generally it is a blue-ish translucent box. This just happened
