Random popup displaying text appears when mostly playing games.
Hi I don't quite know where to begin. This mostly happens when I'm playing games, but also when working with the pc (though i'm rarely recording the screen then). Windows 10 22H2 (though this has happen for long time across 2024 (if not 2023 too, i don't really recall when first started) There's this window that steals my active window (or game) focus and pops up like less than a second and it is driving me nuts not being able to know what it is, where it comes from and how to make it stop. examples attached(had to remote most of the text of the image for my privacy sake) I managed to capture these examples because I screenrecord, otherwise this happens when, for example, I'm typing an email, seems to be triggered by keyboard. sometimes it is a local path with my files, other seems to be just url's that I have accessed, though the asusac:AppX etc it is neither something I accesed nor someting I copy pasted. In desperation, i searched the entire registry with regedit in case it was saved there somehow (mru or something like that) but to no avail. The only thing i think is in common so far is that i'm actively using the keyboard (corsair k95 platinum) so I closed icue and it still happens.. in all i closed all the resident programs in the tray bar (jdownloader2, ditto, everything (from voidtools), icue, virtual desktop streamr, trazor syncthing, f.lux, msi afterburner + rivatuner, networkx, microsoft powertoys, audioswitch. already did, serveral times: chkdsk /f to all the local drives sfc /scannow microsoft defender scan, both in windows and the deep offline scan (scans when rebooting, after bios post and before windows starts) Formating and reinstalling is not a viable option for me, I need to resolve this without nuking the system. Have you ever seen something like this at all? I don't even know how to properly describe it. Thanks in advance for your time reading this and specially if you try to help! kind regards.
It appears to behave unpredictably—whether you need to close it manually or let it disappear depends on the situation. Try opening Task Manager to identify the process causing it. You might notice a particular key press triggers the issue.
