Weird Colored dots now appearing in Outlook and Word
I recently restarted my laptop and restarted Outlook (part of the Microsoft 65 that's installed). It now has these black dots appearing where the screen max/minimizer points used to be. There are others appearing in the mailbox folders along the left side of the screen. I find them very annoying and wonder if there is anything wrong with the installation, or was it a recent update? Same problem appearing in Word.
I'm running Windows 10.

- Check you have the latest updates - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/install-office-updates-2ab296f3-7f03-43a2-8e50-46de917611c5 however I have never seen this issue. Try adjusting the screen resolution as well perhaps.

Same here. It's happening. Updates don't do anything. It started after updated Surface Pro x to Windows 11. Not sure if that caused it, but that is the context.
- Maybe try updating your video drivers or downgrade them??
