Hi, I tried your method of hiding the overlay. At least it won't annoy me as much now. Thank you. Still a mystery to me.

Thanks I will try that in the coming days (y)

Thanks for trying. In my original post I've tried SFC and I've done a reimage/reinstall of Win 11.

Hi everyone, Apologies in advance it's hard to describe. So I have this issue where media files in Windows 11 display weirdly. So the thumbnail preview of the media file shows a random program at the bottom right of the shortcut. Today for example it is showing Outlook (see screenshot) but...
