white rectangle hiding icons in Edge

There is a disturbing white rectangle (an absolutely blank box, see attached screenshot) I can't get rid of, over part of my favorites bar in Edge, avoiding any click on favorites or other icons underneath. 

Thanks for any help...

    Jose_Alves I am having a similar issue in my news feeds in Edge.  3 or 4 stacked white rectangles bottom to central right of the window.  Same size as yours but they have grey circles with initials in them almost like a messenger box pop up with no text.  Did you ever figure this out?

      I did a Google search and found four answers. The one I used was the one that seemed easy, and it went away. Did have to restart to find out. (fixed)

      This was from Microsoft, thanks butt heads, and they don't give a way to turn it off.  

       

      The reason there are four answers is what software is running? a little (lot) beyond me.

    I HAVE THE SAME THING. I THINK IT HAPPED WHEN I LET EDGE PUT A URL BOX ON THE MAIN APP DESKTOP SCREEN. 05152023

     

    IF I FIND OUT WHAT COMPANY DID THIS, I WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN
