windows 10 21h1 glitch
Hello everyone,
I recently updated my windows 10 laptop to 21h1 feature update. Since that update I have been facing this glitch where search area beside the windows start menu logo gets a white strip when I turn on the laptop it clears when I hover over it and pops back on by itself when I switch between apps.
I don't know whether it happens on only my pc but i'm sure it started after 21h1 update.

You will see this if:
- KB5003214 is installed
- News and Interests on the taskbar is turned off, and
- Your DPI scaling (Settings|System|Display|Scale and layout is other (larger?) than 100%
Change any one of those, and the problem goes away

- Possible graphics driver big, Press Windows + Shift + ctrl + B to restart your graphics drivers.
Turning off the transparency effect of the taskbar also does the job
