Weird shadow of a box on screen

This weird shodow of a box appears on my screen and the only way of getting rid of it is to restart. I usually have to restart at least once a day to clear it.

Mac mini, macOS 13.2

Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance 


Does the issue present in this mode ?


Is user byline accurate >> Mac mini, macOS 13.2 ?


Current Ventura is version 13.6.9


Keep your Mac up to date
