Hi Julia,
I don't have an answer, but I noticed this blackbox also.
I have two computers (dual boot on two disks) and since a few days in one of them this blackbox appears at the middle of the top of the screen. In certain situations, because I have seen it several times.
I need to find out in what situations the blackbox appears (which app have I opened, etc.).
Strange !
(But as I have seen this only recently, and it only appears in some situations, I suppose it is due to a recent update from Microsoft).
