Windows 10: I can see the main menu in the background while I'm playing games in pc.

Hello. Recently, I’ve been experiencing an issue while playing games like Elden Ring and Borderlands 3. Essentially, after leaving the game on the main menu for a while—let’s say around 10 minutes—when I start the game, I notice the faint silhouette of the menu still visible in the background. For example, in Elden Ring, the faint title from the main menu remains on the screen. The same happens in Borderlands 3. It seems that the longer the game is left on the main menu, the less faded the menu elements are when gameplay begins, becoming more visible and a real nuisance.I’ve already tried chan
