SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run your PC

OBSERVED RESULT
I have 3 monitors and MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GAMING graphics card.

Sometimes there is a bug related to the desktop on the middle monitor (Samsung S24D300) having a black square on the middle of screen. Of course this fragment with black square is unusable and unresponsive.

My temporary workaround is to disconnect the HDMI cable from the graphics card for a moment, wait a moment until the desktop with bars moves to the left monitor, then connect the HDMI cable back to the graphics card. After this, black square disappears and desktop backs to normal.

EXPECTED RESULT
That this black square never appear.

If you drag a window into the area of the square, does the window cover it up? Or does it cover up the window?

Can you attach a phone photo of the situation?
