I have the same issue since maybe 8 month. None of the solution on the Internet seems to work. Killing explorer.exe and waiting like 3 min before executing explorer.exe solve temporary the problem until the next time I start WIndows 10. I solved an error in the event manager for the path of ucrtbase.dll which is linked with explorer.exe but at the end I got the exact same issue without any error logged in the the windows events. I post a solution here if one day I find the solution without a major windows reset :D

Hello. Im having problems with my laptop. Here is the situation, for example I have 3 sticky notes open then I minimized and tried to reopen it doesnt respond. This is also the time when I noticed that evertime I open a new window it seems the first icon on it is selected. for example on facebook, everytime I clicked on any icons like comment or homepage, there is always a square or box outlining the selected icon. I even noticed that I can drag a tab outside of the browser.
