Windows 10: Transparent window over full screen game or something similar.

While playing path of exile two I was trying to listen to music and play at the same time when this transparency issue happened. I've run through a checklist of various different things using chat gpt and nothing has worked. I have had this happen to me before and I had to clean install windows 11. I do not want to do that again. I would show you my checklist with chat gpt but it does not allow sharing with images in a chat. This problem only happens on my laptops internal display as I have tried it with a second monitor. I have done a lot of things to try and fix it and I do not wish to repea

Transparent Screens

I would say that this is basically a clear plastic projector screen with a chemical in it to reflect certain wavelengths of light, and then allow light that we see to pass through it, so it seems transparent. If the whole room was lit with a light that was of a similar wavelength, then the screen would be rendered useless. I could only see this as a cheap way to have screens outdoors, without damaging any hardware, and only the screen. Good concept, it feels futuristic. lol..

 

Windows 11 - Floating transparent box over the taskbar with loading cursor

I have a workaround to stop this happening. I’ve posted it multiple times, I hope the original poster will accept it as the answer as it disappears in all of the answers. Forget searching for something, follow these steps and you will be fine:

1. First do a restart so that the small window is not blocking anything.
   
2. Then click on the blue window at the bottom of your screen.
   
3. Type in "transparency",
   
4. select the first thing that comes up in the search that is "Transparency Effects".
   
5. In the popup turn off the transparency effects.
   
6. You need to restart your computer
   
7. Welcome to not be bothered by this transparent window anymore
