Hi everyone,
I had to restore from a backed-up image of Win 11 and now there is a weird thing in explorer. When I click on it, nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
Cheers :)

Looks like there's 2 Menu icons on there!
Maximize the window, see if one goes away.

Tried that. No good. Also tried -
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
SFC /scannow
Neither fixed it. No idea what is wrong with it.

I'm afraid I can't help with the question, you've done all I would have done but I'm curious what backup and restore tool you used that has done this.

I'm going to try a repair install. I will do that tomorrow.
If that does not fix it I will just live with it. Not going through reinstalling Windows for that.

Macrium Reflect Home 8. I have been using it (Macrium) for years and never had an issue, until now.

Interesting, thanks. I switched to the same as you earlier this year having used AOMEI for several years.
Odd indeed. I'm afraid I've no answer though.

I wonder, if you go to full Dark Mode and back, will that do anything.

I have to apologise to Macrium.
I just booted up my laptop, and the bug is there too (as well as my desktop).
I'm thinking it must be a bad update/app interaction.
Really weird!
