this happened out of no where like a month ago. what could possibly cause this? updating nvidia driver didnt fix it. theres other variations too like thick grey trail following my cursor. this happens a lot and its pretty annoying. if i wait like 3 seconds it goes back to normal and if i alt tab it also goes back to normal. i also noticed it happens a lot more while i have a game open.

have you tried turning off hardware acceleration for discord to see if the issue persists?

have you tried resetting your monitor?

you should try doing a clean install of graphics drivers

Display Driver Uninstaller

:one: Download the driver for your GPU from the manufacturer's website using the links below, but don't install them yet.
:two: Download the latest version of DDU by clicking the button below, clicking on the top post which is called "Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) VXX.X.X.X Released", and clicking the link to *** Download DDU "Installer" *** in that post.
:three: Open the program you just downloaded, and install DDU.
:four: Disconnect from the Internet by unplugging your Ethernet cable or turning off Wi-Fi in the bottom-right corner. This will prevent Windows Update from automatically re-downloading the GPU drivers after rebooting, as we are going to install the driver ourselves.
:five: Open the Start Menu, click the power icon then hold Shift on your keyboard and click Restart. Once your PC has restarted, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart, and press 4 to load into safe mode.
:six: Launch DDU, using the icon on your desktop.
:seven: On the right side, select the type as GPU, and the brand as the manufacturer of your GPU. Then, click 'Clean and Restart'.
:eight: Once you have loaded back into Windows, install the GPU drivers you downloaded earlier. Once they have installed and you have rebooted your PC if required, you can reconnect your Internet connection, and your GPU drivers have been fully reinstalled.

ill prob do that but i dont wanna risk any issues rn. i had an issue with my graphics driver a few months ago and my technician fixed it, needed thermal paste. a while before he did that tho i updated my bios and had a blue screen error.

i thought updating bios wont make an issue but the technician said not to update bios again

#

ill prob try display driver uninstaller when im not in need of my pc that much

#

in case something happens

DDU's not risky or anything, it's up to you if you want to try and resolve the issue or if you'd rather wait for a time when you won't be using the computer so much

I have used it myself multiple of times and have never had any issues. it's very easy to use and understand.
