Hey there! First time poster here.
Quite often when I alt-tab I notice that the window preview does not match the aspect ratio of the window itself (the normal windows behaviour is that the alt-tab previews do indeed match, you can resize the window as much as you want, then alt-tab and see). Aswell as the aspect ratio being off the text is usually squished up together. This is not meant to happen.
I have attached a youtube video for you to be able to see, see bottom of the post.
The first time this happened I assumed it was just a weird Windows one-off bug, so I left it. The next few times I noticed it, I booted into safe mode (with networking) and eventually the bug came back. This made me think it was a Windows/Hardware issue because safe mode disables all 3rd party apps/drivers (including the gpu one, as my screen was stuck at 60hz with the basic display driver).
I then grabbed the latest stable 23h2 iso from uup dump and installed via rufus usb, and the same issue happened after 4-5 hours.
Hmmm, that's strange, I've had this machine for about 9 months now and not had any driver timeouts or memory related crashes, its stable 24/7, I mainly use it for gaming, surely if I had a GPU/Memory problem I would have issues in high intensity workloads (like 1440p gaming), and not while dragging windows around the desktop?
I then ran Memtest overnight and GPU stress tested for hours on end, no issues whatsoever. Replaced DP cable. GPU isn't daisy chained. Ram is dual channel. CPU is cooler than my card with the wonderful peerless assassin.
For what its worth I had had this happen on Firefox, Command promt and IntelliJ IDE. It seems to happen more often AFTER a gaming/benchmark session (high gpu load), but I have had it happen first thing after booting up before too.
Its not a major issue but I am worried it might progress into something worse (if its hardware related) and the fact it survived a windows nuke beats me. Also can't find any others with this online, I think if it was a core issue in Windows then others would 100% be experiencing it too.
The only "fixes" I know are to restart the program, or to restart Explorer.exe, however both of these solutions hint to a software based problem (its usually not possible to fix hardware faults with software but sofware can fix sofware bugs much more often), if it truly was my GPU/Memory surely this wouldn't work?
Any ideas?
Thanks for reading!
