Hey everyone! I'm dealing with some frustrating display issues after I upgraded my PC. I swapped out an old SSD for a new Kingston NV3 1TB SSD and installed Windows 11 on it. Ever since, I've been experiencing these odd display glitches. When I wake my monitor from sleep, the screen flickers showing a part of my desktop in the top left corner, almost like the snap feature is activated. The flicker happens once or twice before it settles, but then my Edge browser gets stuck in that corner. To fix it, I have to either click restore down and then maximize or manually drag it back to the top to get it fullscreen. This problem seems specific to Edge—other apps like Windows Explorer behave normally. Interestingly, the issue also happens with Skyrim; if my monitor goes to sleep or I alt-tab, the game shrinks down and the cursor leaves a trail on the screen. I haven't noticed this happening with other games though. Any idea what's going on? Here are some [screenshots of the issue](https://imgur.com/a/gj8kwq6). My specs are Ryzen 5 3400G, RTX 2060, and I've just upgraded to Windows 11. Any help would be appreciated!

This could be a result of the new SSD. Sometimes the BIOS settings can interfere with how the display functions. Try checking your BIOS settings related to graphics and display options. Just remember to be cautious not to change anything if you’re unsure. Backup your important data first just in case!
Have you tried adjusting the display settings in Windows? Sometimes, selecting a different resolution or refresh rate can help with weird display behavior. Also, make sure your power settings are optimized for performance rather than power-saving mode, especially for the GPU.
It sounds like you might need to update your graphics drivers. Sometimes when you switch hardware and upgrade the OS, the drivers can act up, especially if you haven't updated them after the install. Check the NVIDIA website or use GeForce Experience to make sure you're running the latest drivers for your RTX 2060.
If you’re still having trouble, you might want to consider rolling back Windows 11 to see if that resolves the issue. It could just be a compatibility hiccup with Edge and the new setup. Keep an eye on updates from Microsoft, too, as they may release fixes soon.
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check for driver updates and see if that fixes my issue.
