Guessing, this looks like there might be an "invisible" window that has everything blanked out, just not this button as it cannot know that this button is there. Or a button "shining thru" from a window beneath? Some kind of tool or malware? Maybe already one of your applications in the tray. Otherwise, try cycling thru with ALT+TAB and starting Windows without any startup applications.

I thought it may have been BitDefender's UI but that doesn't appear to be the case. Hmm, it'd be nice if DF would list what windows/applications it's slapping a titlebar button onto so I can "blacklist" that application. Oh well, it seems to come and go at random, honestly it's not that annoying as I can just move it to the other monitor where it's not blocking anything of note.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Next time it happens I'll be sure to do that; like I said it comes and goes, but I'll return with my findings when I get them.

Well what do you know, it is bitdefender's UI window. The program is called gziface.exe; it seems to have to do with resolution changes (bitdefender's ui is known for not playing nice when the resolution changes). When a game loads up in non-native resolution, bitdefender seems to get a bit buggy. That application seems to only affect that little UI window in the system tray, which you can simply open on the second monitor, so blacklisting that, I doubt that would be an issue.
Awesome, thanks! Could you send me the full path to that EXE?

edit: in fact here's the screenshot you wanted

I have another app to request being added to the blacklist of windows that should not show titlebar buttons.
Conexant Flow is the background audio application built into a number of HP Laptops.

Thanks! We'll add that as well.

I just found the Compatibility Section of the DisplayFusion settings where I can manually tell DF to not place titlebar buttons on this app. Good deal!
