[Win11]Top of chrome turns into a black bar sometimes

FatherTime · Feb 1, 2024

Sometimes when I am surfing the web the top part of Chrome turns black. Screenshot of how it looks like:
Windows Version: Windows 11 - 23H2/OS Build 22361.3085

Once I click the black part it goes back to normal. How can I fix this issue?

I have never and never will use Chrome myself, but I would suggest you might try resetting Chrome.

If that doesn't work uninstall Chrome, restart, then re-install Chrome.(If your not syncing Chrome to a google account, make sure you back up your bookmarks first. You will lose all passwords saved in Chrome as well and will have to re-enter them the first time you visit those sites)

Reset Chrome settings to default - Google Chrome Help

You can restore your browser settings in Chrome at any time. You might need to do this if apps or extensions you installed changed your settings without your knowledge. Your saved bookmarks and passwo

The machine is pretty new. I don't think that would do anything. It's happening on 2 machines, mine and my brother's. Same specs too.

Hopefully someone who uses Chrome will step in. Sorry I couldn't help.

Redirecting

Check above link and may want to google for others. Seems to be a fairly common issue. May have to do with resolution.

My settings are already set to those. I actually think its the browser and not my monitor.

I made a screen capture of what I am seeing, I replicated it in Chrome and Edge, but it only seems to bug out on chrome. Edge is fine. Sometimes I would have a black box appear or a black bar at the top appear and even sometimes the whole browser turns black and reappear in a few seconds.

Chrome Version: 121.0.6167.140

EDIT: Looks like it happens every time when I try to make a new twitter post.

Yeah, I had similar problem on Edge browser too. Sometimes the address bar and the webpage would turn black, depending where I moved the mouse. Had to close the browser and re-launch it, for the issue to clear. Happened numerous times then haven't seen the symptoms for a while, so maybe it is fixed on latest Edge.
