Troubleshooting Weird Display Issues on Your Computer
Have you ever encountered peculiar display problems on your computer? If so, you’re not alone.
Recently, I faced an unusual issue with my device: whenever I left-click and drag, strange black squares would appear on my screen. There were also times when hovering over applications would highlight them in black, and this effect wouldn’t disappear even after I moved my cursor away.
Out of frustration, I turned to Google for answers, but the search results weren’t much help. After trying several potential fixes—including restarting the computer, updating software, and even resetting my settings—the problem persisted.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, you might want to consider a few troubleshooting steps to get to the bottom of the issue. Here’s a quick guide on what you can do:
-
Check Your Display Settings: Sometimes, the issue could stem from incorrect display settings. Navigate to your display settings and ensure everything is configured correctly.
-
Update Your Graphics Driver: Outdated or corrupted graphics drivers can lead to display issues. Make sure to check for any available updates for your graphics driver.
-
Test Different Cables: If you’re using an external monitor, try replacing the cable connecting your monitor to your computer. A faulty cable can cause display problems.
-
Boot in Safe Mode: Booting your computer in Safe Mode can help you determine if the problem is related to third-party software. If the issue doesn’t occur in Safe Mode, you may need to uninstall recently installed software or drivers.
-
Seek Professional Support: If all else fails, it may be time to consult a professional. They can diagnose hardware problems or deeper software issues that may not be easily identified.
