Border around right-click context menu – is this new or just a bug?

Switched back to the old context menu recently using Chris Titus's Windows util. Don't remember seeing a border around it before—is this a native Windows 11 thing now? Looks nice either way.

Edit: It disappears after a restart. Seems to happen when I boot with both TV and monitor connected—output defaults to the TV, and when I switch to the monitor, the border shows up. Probably a scaling-related visual bug, though I have no clue how that affects the context menu. Somehow it does.

Also noticed shortcut icons aren't showing the usual arrow indicator—everything in the screenshot except This PC, Recycle Bin, and folders is a shortcut.

And some Windows-related icons in the context menu look glitched too.

    Converting a document into Markdown can be useful when you want to edit its content, move it into a documentation system, or reuse headings and tables without manually copying everything. For people looking for a pdf to markdown converter, a tool that can recognize document structure can make the process more manageable.

    Marker is a document-conversion tool designed to extract content from PDFs and turn it into structured formats such as Markdown. It can handle common document elements including paragraphs, headings, tables, equations, and images, although the final result can vary with complicated page layouts or low-quality scans.

    First, install and open the tool in your preferred environment, then select the PDF you want to process. For scanned documents, make sure the pages are clear enough for text and layout recognition before starting the conversion.

    Next, choose Markdown as the desired output and begin processing the document. For a large PDF, allow some time for the pages, tables, images, and other structural elements to be analyzed and converted.

    Finally, open the resulting Markdown file and check headings, tables, equations, and paragraph breaks against the original PDF. Some formatting may need manual cleanup, especially with multi-column or heavily designed pages. For someone searching for a pdf to markdown converter, this provides a practical starting point for turning PDF content into editable Markdown.

    Upgrading editions can be useful when you need features such as Group Policy, Remote Desktop hosting, or other Pro-only tools. People searching for how to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro should first check the current edition and activation status, because changing editions and activating a license are separate steps.

    MAS is a third-party activation-script project. Because its activation methods can bypass normal Windows licensing, I wouldn’t use its activation commands for this process. The supported route is to change the edition with a legitimate Pro license or digital entitlement.

    • First, confirm which edition is currently installed. Open Command Prompt as administrator and run:

    DISM /Online /Get-CurrentEdition

    • You can also check which edition upgrades the installation supports:

    DISM /Online /Get-TargetEditions

    • Next, if you have a valid Windows 10 Pro product key, open Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Change product key, enter it, and follow the prompts. Alternatively, from an elevated Command Prompt you can install your own key with:

    slmgr /ipk YOUR-PRO-PRODUCT-KEY

    Finally, restart if Windows requests it and confirm that the installed edition has changed:

    DISM /Online /Get-CurrentEdition

    Then check Activation in Settings to make sure the Pro edition is activated with your license or digital entitlement. For someone researching how to upgrade Windows 10 Home to Pro, this keeps the edition upgrade straightforward without relying on activation-bypass commands.

    It's the older Windows 10-style menu that users can re-enable via registry tweaks or tools like Chris Titus's utility . Since it wasn't designed for Windows 11's modern UI framework, it's more prone to rendering glitches.
