Black 'hole' strip at top of windows
My PC keeps getting black 'holes' across the top of the screen, meaning that I can't click on application tool bars:
This isn't just a graphical issue, if I click on this blank area, the mouse click goes through the active application to whatever is underneath. Also, I can drag non-affected windows over the top:
This is affecting Internet Explorer, Opera, and PDF X-Change Editor. With the web browsers, I can hit F11 to go full screen to remove the black bar, and then again to go back to normal window mode and everything is fixed. With PDF X-Change Editor, F11 full screen looks fine, but on returning to window mode the black/white bar is back.
This is a desktop PC using an NVIDIA GTX 1080, with latest drivers downloaded an hour ago.
Any suggestions / solutions?
