Hi there, I have recently purchased a Dell XPS 15z. It is great, but there's one problem. when I am typing the window goes slightly transparent and the words that I am typing don't show up. It doesn't always happen but today it has been happening every few seconds, that makes typing this post very difficult
If someone could help, that would be great :)
I don't quite understand what you mean, but I have an idea, is this what you meant?
See Image above, by transparent - you mean the top part of this image, and by normal you mean the bottom half (I am using a Custom theme, so it will look slightly different).
Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
If I was you I would run a Malwarebytes Scan, and check for Malware.
Please try to include your Malwarebytes log files too.
The next thing you could do is run an SFC Scan
Could you also post a Screenshot of your Task Manager & your Startup Tab in msconfig.
Does it only do this when your typing, or anytime randomly on any window?
It usually does it when I'm typing, however I'm starting to think it's when I'm not using my mouse.
Here's the log:

Jacin, that was a Quick Scan, please run a Full Scan
It would also be helpful if you attatched your MSConfig Startup Tab Page and your Task Manager Processes Tab Page using the built in Snipping Tool or resizing a Print Screen image using a Graphics Software like Paint.
