    Start Menu Icons Disappear and colour changes


    As per title.
    I'm thinking this might be video driver related as it happens mostly when I'm windowing a game and opening other apps etc.

    Problem:

    Usually it looks like this:

    This has just happened to me, and looking at your screenshots I've noticed that you have Geforce Experience opened.
    I opened Geforce experience as well, and changed the Metal Gear Solid V resolution using Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR), and after closing the game the Start Menu icons were gone. So, GeForce Experience may be the culprit:

    Have you used Geforce Experience and DSR to change the resolution of any game?

    I've attached a screenshot of my start menu with missing icons.

    Regards.

    Haven't used it to change resolution but I've been using ShadowPlay to record games. That in itself hasn't been a problem but I have to start SP before starting a game or the desktop GUI will bug out.

    Good catch btw, I didn't make that connection.

    I'm finding there a few other graphic bugs with ShadowPlay - the Action Centre becomes completely transparent i.e. clear and the right click menus on the task bar have no text in them.

    Gettings some excellent gaming vis though :)

    Have you found a way of restoring the Start Menu icons without rebooting?

    I tried to change the resolution in order to force them to come back, and they do, for like half a second, after that they're gone again...

    Haven't tried, I just reboot when I get these problems...

    Just realised that I'm getting completely transparent Start Menu and missing icons & text without ShadowPlay in it's 'ready' state. GeForce Experience is running in the background though of course.
