Mysterious Windows: Unraveling the Enigma of a “Black Window”

Have you ever experienced a bizarre occurrence on your computer that left you scratching your head? Recently, I stumbled upon something puzzling: a black window that seemed to mimic the Command Prompt (CMD), but it was anything but typical.

At first, I mistook it for a dead pixel on my screen. However, the mystery deepened when I discovered I could drag it around with my mouse. Naturally, I turned to the Task Manager to investigate any suspicious applications running in the background, but everything appeared normal. This strange feature closely resembled the interface for text input, had a semi-transparent look, and allowed me to stretch its dimensions, evoking familiar CMD vibes.

Curious to see if anyone else had encountered this, I sought assistance from the online community but couldn’t share visual evidence. For those interested, I provided a link to the images I captured: Weird window – Imgur.

Could this phenomenon be a sign of malware lurking in my system? Given the odd behavior, I contemplated the possibility of performing a clean installation of Windows.

Update on the Situation

After some thoughtful suggestions, particularly from community member u/Slapbox, I decided to dig deeper using Process Explorer. To my surprise, I traced this enigmatic black window back to the voice recognition feature of One Dragon Center. I had initially used Dragon Center solely to customize the RGB lighting on my setup for my social media activities, unaware that it was responsible for this peculiar glitch.

Following the discovery, I opted to uninstall the application, and a quick restart confirmed that the issue was resolved. I want to extend my gratitude to everyone for their support throughout this puzzling situation. Your insights helped clarify the mystery and reestablish a sense of normalcy to my digital workspace.
