Calm down, Jay Bok, don't just blame Windows.

Some Windows 10 and Windows 11 users found a strange bug behind power-up or unlocking the screen, with a blank white window popping up in the upper left corner of the screen, before disappearing itself within seconds, even without opening anything on its own. Initially, it was reported that this problem may not be directly caused by Windows, but is likely related to Google Chrome.

.

Many users have started to experience the symptoms on both Windows 10 and Windows 11, according to a Neowin report. The characteristic of the bug is that a blank white window appears after logging in or after unlocking the machine, which makes many people understand that it is a Windows bug, a screen card driver, or some program that has gone wrong behind it.

.

But after a user review on Reddit and various forums, it was discovered that a possible origin could come from a Google Chrome Scheduled Task called RunPlatformExperienceHelperOnUnlock, which is in the Windows Scheduler Task under the GoogleUserPEH folder. This Task is triggered every time the user unlocks the machine, and may cause an empty white window to temporarily pop up on some machines.

.

Interestingly, not all Chrome users will encounter this problem because some have such folders or Tasks, but they do not develop abnormalities. While some have white windows every time after power-up or unlocking the screen, it is expected that the problem may be related to Chrome settings, add-ons, behind-the-scenes tasks, or Chrome versions installed on their respective machines.

.

For a temporary solution, some users have found that this condition can be stopped by visiting the Windows Task Scheduler, then visiting the Task Scheduler Library > GoogleUserPEH and disclosing the Task named RunPlatformExperienceHelperOnUnlock. However, this method is only a page-specific solution and can affect some of Chrome's background work.

.

Some users also recommend turning off Hardware Acceleration or Graphics Acceleration in Chrome if they encounter flashing, distorted images, or an abnormal display during using the web browser. Go to Settings > System and turn off the Use graphics acceleration option when available. Then restart Chrome again. But the downside is that it may make playing high-definition video or graphics-based web less slippery.

.

Currently, neither Google nor Microsoft have issued an official statement on this issue directly. It is not yet possible to confirm whether it is a bug from the latest version of Chrome alone or due to incompatibility between Chrome and Windows. In some environments, users facing problems may need to close such Tasks or wait for corrective updates from Google in the future.

... Read moreผมมีประสบการณ์ตรงกับปัญหาหน้าต่างสีขาวโผล่มุมซ้ายบนของหน้าจอหลังจากปลดล็อกเครื่อง Windows 10 ซึ่งสร้างความกังวลใจไม่น้อยเพราะคิดว่าเป็นบั๊กระบบ แต่จากการศึกษาข้อมูลและตรวจสอบใน Task Scheduler แล้ว พบว่าเป็นผลมาจาก Scheduled Task ของ Google Chrome ที่เรียกว่า RunPlatformExperienceHelperOnUnlock ที่จะทำงานทุกครั้งเมื่อปลดล็อกเครื่อง ผมลองปิด Task ดังกล่าวใน Task Scheduler ตามคำแนะนำ และปัญหาที่เกิดก็หายไป แต่ต้องเตือนว่าอาจมีผลข้างเคียงต่อการทำงานพื้นหลังของ Chrome บางอย่าง นอกจากนี้ ผมยังได้ลองปิด Hardware Acceleration ใน Chrome ซึ่งช่วยแก้ปัญหาภาพกระพริบหรือผิดเพี้ยนในบางกรณี แต่ก็จะทำให้ประสิทธิภาพการเล่นวิดีโอหรือเว็บที่ใช้กราฟิกหนักลดลงบ้าง สิ่งที่น่าสนใจคือ บั๊กนี้ไม่ได้เกิดกับทุกเครื่องที่ใช้ Chrome บางคนไม่มี Task นี้หรือแม้ว่าจะมี Task แต่ก็ไม่พบอาการผิดปกติ สาเหตุอาจมาจากความแตกต่างของการตั้งค่า Chrome ส่วนเสริมหรือเวอร์ชันต่าง ๆ ผมจึงแนะนำว่า หากเจอปัญหานี้ อย่าเพิ่งใจร้อนโทษ Windows โดยตรง แต่ลองตรวจสอบ Task Scheduler และตั้งค่าของ Chrome ก่อน นอกจากนี้ยังควรรออัปเดตจาก Google ที่อาจแก้ไขบั๊กนี้ในอนาคต ประสบการณ์นี้สอนให้รู้ว่าเทคโนโลยีสมัยใหม่มีความซับซ้อนและบางครั้งปัญหาอาจไม่ใช่เรื่องของระบบปฏิบัติการเพียงอย่างเดียว การเข้าใจและตรวจสอบอย่างละเอียดจะช่วยประหยัดเวลาและลดความเครียดได้มากครับ
