Toolbar items color stuck

[powerzan]

Hello, it's me again

Now I have problem, that is very annoying (at least to me). That happens sometimes.
So, when mouse enter to icon in toolbar, then background of that item get 'light'. When mouse leave from there, that 'light' stay there and don't dissapear.

Picture of problem:

Hello Zan,

The light on a taskbar icon like that is to indicate that it has just opened while you were in another active window, and is alerting you to this. Does clicking on the icon return it to it's normal color?

 

[powerzan]

No, it is not that. If I move mouse to other item, then that item will have the back light, not the first.

 

[Brink]

Does it continue to do this after restarting the computer?

 

[powerzan]

No, then it works for some time. But because I don't want to restart the compter over all time, I just restart process "explorer.exe"

Zan,

Double check to see what the registry is set for in the the tutorial below to see if it may be set to 0 instead of 3.

If that doesn't help, then you might see if turning animations for the taskbar and Start menu off will.

Hello, it seems that your solution is working

I will mark that thread for solved, until the problem shows again.

Thank you

 

[Brink]

You're most welcome Zan. Which one is working for you?

 

[powerzan]

Oh, I used both of them. In the first option, value was 1, and in the second option I changed value to 0.

 

[Brink]

Ah, ok. You disabled it with the second option. Thank you for posting back.

Unfortunately, the problem appeared again. Is it maybe my CPU, that is not very good (I have 4GB of RAM) or maybe that computer is running to long (few days, without restarting).

I can solve this problem with restarting explorer.exe but it is annoying.

 

[Brink]

Does disabling it again using the tutorial below solve it again for you?

If not, then for now, the tutorial below will make it easier to restart explorer.

[powerzan]

Well, the first solution won't work. Anyway, thanks for the other one

 

[Brink]

Just as a test, see if using step 3 in the tutorial below may stop it. If not, then step 4 will change it back to default.

In addition, check to see if this is set like below in the Ease of Access Center.

 

[powerzan]

Will wait, if problem will be solved.

 

[powerzan]

Problem appeared again ;(

 

[Brink]

Hmm, ok.

As a test, create a new user account, log on to it, and see if it does the same in it.
