I am going to state here that answers like "switch off Aero", "turn off all visual effects" are not applicable since they weren't an issue few days ago as they weren't an issue any day since I bought this computer.
We and I mean the multitude of people with this glitch annoying them to death need a proper answer, a patch, something that will deal with the issue once and for all. Sorry if my post sounds harsh towards the end but this problem has been so persistent for years that there needs to be an official solution that doesn't require powerhouse PCs to turn OS' visual features off just to get it run normally.
Especially since the problem occurs randomly. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse.

The problem was introduced back in Windows when fading menu items were added. Originally, the feature was added in kernel-mode code and was tightly integrated into portions of the UI. Since it worked so well, it ended up staying there.
The problem has appeared from time to time, but no one has had a reliable way to reproduce it in the kernel debugger to get it fixed. The same effect can be achieved without changing the screen resolution or color depth. This command will reset the desktop window manager without the need to change the screen resolution. Changing the screen resolution or color depth also resets the desktop window manager, so it's always been a workaround for the bug when it appears.
Either of these solutions will fix the problem. I suppose, a workaround would be to disable menu items fading out after clicking in the Performance options:.
In Windows 7 and probably Vista , using the task manager to kill "dwm. I think it's faster to just change the colour depth. Once you've changed and clicked Apply, you can just answer NO to the "Do you want to keep these settings? It will revert to your original colour depth with the problem solved. Btw, I recommend you to not change the resolution because doing so will force Windows to recalculate window sizes and positions It's noticeably slower than changing colour depth. Anyway this is definitely a video problem in Windows, so the only sure-fire way other than restarting would be to force Windows to fully refresh the video buffer.
You can do that by killing dwm. Adding to this: The important thing may be to say "NO" when prompted to "keep the settings". If you say yes, then the orphan menu pieces may return. Enough tskill dwm commands seems to stop dwm re-starting, so you may need to restart the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager in Services:.
I recently started getting this problem on a Windows 7 Professional Thinkpad W and a generic i7 workstation running Windows 7 Ultimate. Having it happen to both machines was a source of interest and typing 'tskill dwm' would do things like break screenshot and felt like a bad work around. In my case I have found the problem was the Logitech SetPoint process crashing. Disabling the on screen notification modifications it makes to the system seems to have solved the tooltip problem.
Hopefully the core idea here helps someone:- Some tool that manipulates the Aero overlay may be interfering. I used to get this quite a lot on my home system, running XPPro, along with tool-tip boxes doing the same. Windows Explorer was the app that exposed the oddity most though that might be because it is on of the utilities most commonly used.
Also switching to the login screen then logging back in would usually, but not always, do the trick. I happens very rarely now, though I'm not sure what has changed to reduce the occurrence. I have recently upgraded the graphics card in the machine, but the reduction in occurrence happened noticably before that upgrade took place. My guess is that either a driver update or one of MS's patches has reduced the problem, but that is only a guess.
In any case, make sure that you have not missed any updates and make sure you are running the latest stable drivers for your graphics chipset. If you're using Windows 10, you may be unable to kill dwm.
To prevent this issue in the future, I followed this answer , but to fix the problem I had at the moment, I just changed my resolution, then reverted back to my original resolution, which erased the menu item which had been stuck on the screen.
