Desktop and Taskbar breaks.

So I bought a new laptop recently and downloaded a few different apps so I can start gaming and such. After I load up windows 10 and open any program my desktop crashes and I can't do anything with it and my taskbar background becomes transparent. I have tried many different things to try and fix this problem and nothing has worked so I don't know what to do from here.

    I checked now on another computer and you are really right, the taskbar when opening the application is transparent and actually the icons are poorly visible - this is a problem for the visually impaired
    I always use high contrast it causes that there is always a black background and only then the icons are very visible, but this is not a solution for everyone!
    Your opinion is justified!

  • Have you tried changing the systems composition in settings > personalization . background, or other default compositions - sometimes changing the settings helps.

    Hi
    I think your taskbar is good - bar transparency is fine in new versions.
    I don't understand where the error is>? Microsoft is making interface changes - what Windows compilation do you have?

    You mentioned, about performing some actions, would you mind list them down?
    Have you updated Windows and Graphic Card driver?

      Reza_Ameri Yes I have updated everything on my PC and even upgraded to to pro, which I planned to do anyways, and even did a recovery of my PC and that didn't fix it.

        Try perform a clean boot and see if the problem persist?
        Take a look at:

        If not enable each services one by one to see which one causing the problem.
