Strange Glitches Found in Windows 11

Occasionally, when I click on an icon in the taskbar, it unexpectedly opens the icon adjacent to it. To address this issue, I find it necessary to restart explorer.exe.

 

Furthermore, there is an additional problem where a newly opened window frequently and unpredictably reverts to a previously opened one.

 

These persistent issues have persisted for several months, despite multiple clean installations of Windows 11.

    Sometimes, hardware acceleration in browsers or other apps causes UI glitches. Disable it in your browser or apps and see if stability improves.

    Update or reinstall your graphics card drivers, and adjust the scaling and resolution settings under Settings > System > Display to resolve graphical interface issues.
