Cannot close "ghost" window, application killed

Please see the image.  I had a popup for a software update, I tried to close the window but it turned see through. I cannot click x, I restarted explorer.exe, I killed the offending application, I've logged out, I've restarted my graphics driver but this window will not close. This window is stuck in the middle of my display and I cannot restart at the moment. Nothing I can find will get this box out of my way.

 

Thanks in advance.



Can someone help me navigate this issue? Windows 11 is really working hard at the WOAT OS title.

    It's been almost 1 year I've had this problem with Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows 11, 1 time in 10 when I close the window.

    Nothing to do except restart the machine.

    Do you have AnyDesk, ShareX, PowerToys, Logitech G-HUB?
