Windows File Explorer Address line is BLACK and the path is compressed












0














My windows file explorer is acting strange... I have windows 10 pro creators edition and the file explorer, at times, sporadically, causes issues with the path displaying BLACK and the path, compressed so small that you cannot read the path names... there's no code here but this is consistent with File Explorer and I cannot do anything to fix it save for restarting my computer. Restarting File Explorer doesn't help either.



File Explorer with BLACK covering PATH



This even occurs in the File Save As...



File Explorer SAVE AS... dialog affected too!



This is file explorer when not in focus when I was taking a screen shot of the SAVE AS... dialog



File Explorer when not in Focus during screen cap of Save As...



Finally, another shot of File Explorer when I moved my mouse rapidly left and right over the PATH but didn't click any buttons.



File Explorer when moving mouse left and right rapidly no mouse clicks



Also, when I right click, this is what happens... part of the sub menu starts disappearing. NOTE: The BLUE "X" is OPEN PDF... believe it or not.



WINDOWS 10 PRO - v1803 Build: 17134.472



File Explorer Right-Click menu starts disappearing...



Has anyone ever seen anything like this before??? There's got to be a solution, permanently!
