You when you try to take a screenshot the screen does not show the artifacts? Vice the screenshot not showing them?


Try booting to Safe Mode. That boot up takes minutes and clears caches and other things that may resolve your problem.

A lot of times just boot to Safe Mode followed by normal boot resolves problems.
