Find Files window frame is still visible on Win11

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Find Files window frame is still visible on Win11

Post by *LLA »

Hello,

sometime it is not possible to close Find Files (Alt+F7) on Win11. Frame of its window remains visible even on lock screen. Only solution I found is to restart computer. It did not happened to me on Win10.

This looks more like a display driver glitch. Is it just a graphical artifact, or can you still move it around?

It is just artefakt. It is not possible to move this frame.
It is my only computer with Win11 (quite common Lenovo ThinkPad T14) so I am not able to say if it is Win11 problem or TC problem on Win11.

I also uses Lenovo, Win11 with TC and I never see such things. That's why it seems to me to be neither a Win11 problem nor a TC problem. More likely a driver problem or a resources problem caused by other processes?

It seems that I am alone with this problem. I will try to solve it with my NTB support.
Thank you.

He is not alone.
I have this sometimes.
A transparent empty Find Files window.

Could be that it occures after hibernation of my computer with a second screen connected and the search window already opened.
Total commander screen seems locked (by the open search window) but the window was not visible.
Pressed ESC to release the lock and then i see the strange empty search window painted at the top screen order.
It keeps always on top. No Total commander window found with processhacker2.

Reboot is the only solution, but then you loose everything you are working on.

Are you also using a Thinkpad like user LLA? Btw, my Thinkpad T14 doesn't have this problem, but it's using an AMD processor/graphics.
