Solved Black rectangular box appeared on deskop after update

[loukask6]

After updating Windows 7 a black rectangular box with an arrow and number 1 in the center appeared on the desktop.
Hovering over "show desktop" rectangle in corner of main monitor taskbar makes it go away (temporarily of course).

Here you can see how desktop looks like



It is annoying and I would like to get rid of it.

Please advise help...

That means Num Lock is on I believe.

A Google image search found it.

Just a thought.

If you are using more than one monitor it could indicate what monitor you are on.

@Ztruker: You are right. When I disable Num Lock a white line crosses the number 1.
But I want to get rid of it!

I have no other monitors.
Just the one that is on my Laptop...

3. click on the "On Screen Display" tab
4. uncheck the box "Enabled on-screen display"
