Hi,
Something on your system is affecting the display's z order (that which
determines what's on top). Sometimes there's no real solution to this type
of problem, but frequent offenders are malware and programs that load
unnecessarily as part of the startup group. However, the problem can just as
frequently be legitimate software such as your av product or a program that
uses full screen mode. Updating display drivers may help, but the problem
may still return.
