    unnamed, unopenable program in multitasking menu


    When I open my multitasking menu, one of my windows is an unnamed, completely black, window. when I attempt to open it, it instantly crashes, and returns me to my previous screen. as far as I can tell, I have no programs that would be running a blank background process, at least according to task manager, and I have closed everything I can think of (dropbox, splashtop, etc..). I am running windows 10 home if that makes a difference, and I will post some pictures below. thanks for any help guys!

    Hi, you might like to try
    Window Detective download | SourceForge.net
    to identify what the window is, if you can't see it in task manager.

    Suggest you use the 'Process window hierarchy' view.
    Drag and drop the red target over your window.
