Hello,
I have been dealing with a windows bug ever since getting a new motherboard, CPU, GPU, and SSD drive for my system drive. I have re-installed Windows (and wiped the C drive) and this issue has persisted. Below is an image:

So the visual bug is weird enough on its own, but when this issue appears there's a lot of functionality throughout windows that also breaks. For example, I can't use snipping tool, or I can't click through the start menu (I have to use arrow keys and enter to restart the PC). Sometimes in a game there is wonkiness like certain controls not working right or something like that. I wish I had more specific info on what breaks but it seems random. It's like all of Windows just gets a little tipsy. But this white box in explorer is the center of the issue, signifies that something is messed up. A restart always fixes it. It tends to happen when I don't restart my PC for usually two days. When I restart windows explorer via task manager, it doesn't make the box go away, but for example I can use snipping tool again (which is how I took this screenshot). I've posted on reddit, asked friends, googled profusely, to no avail.
At this point my only thought is that it is a bug with AMD GPU drivers, as I did not have this issue with my Nvidia 2070. I've also just had issues with AMD software that made me reset Windows to fix, so I'm a little salty with them right now lol. For what it's worth, my current specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X very slight OC via PBO and +200mhz boost
GPU: AMD RX 6800 undervolted
RAM: 16GB 3200mhz
SSD: C drive is on a Pcie NVME SSD.
Mobo: ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F
Any advice would be appreciated!
