Hello;
For some time now, most of the desktop icons are partially hidden by a black square; but not at every PC startup.
I had Windows 20H, I upgraded to 21H1; same issue.
Do you have any idea about this problem?
Best regards.

Hello,

Follow this path:

Double-click on value 29
Change 50 to 51, it should look like this:
