After updating (via Windows Update) and restarting my computer, the animation no longer displays.The only visible thing is a dashed line on the top-right corner.Unfortunately I can't pinpoint to a specific update since I installed multipled updates and have installed additional updates later hoping that the problem would go away with an update, but after 10 days it clearly has notThe only thing I'm certain is that it was not a video driver update (updated drivers apperared a few days later)This is only a graphical glitch and doesn't affect anything else (including games and photo editing software)Fix, ideas, workarounds?Thanks
