Windows 10: Unwanted lines appear on the taskbar

I,For some reason, I am seeing artifacts in the line that shows up under open windows. I thought I could take a screenshot, but it doesn't show up.On my PC Windows 10, I see a second line and a third line that flashes. All the lines are thinner than what shows up in the screenshot.This seems to have started after the recent update.Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how did you fix it?Thanks,L

Horizontal lines appear on the taskbar.

There appears to be glitchy horizontal lines on my taskbar that do not go away after a restart. The lines are purple and green and the icons on the taskbar appear to be glitchy as well.

Taskbar Lines

Hi,

If your taskbar is hidden in desktop or tablet mode, once that you hover your mouse at the bottom of your screen, the taskbar will still appear. For us to isolate the issue, we would like to have a screenshot of the horizontal lines that you are seeing.

In the meantime, we suggest that you restart the Windows Explorer:

• Press Windows key + R to launch
  Run prompt.
• Type taskmgr.exe, and then press Enter to open
  Task Manager.
• On the Processes tab, scroll down and look for Windows
  Explorer.
• Click on it, and then click the Restart button on the lower-right corner.

We will wait for your response.
