blue bar

About this tag
The blue bar in Windows can refer to different interface elements depending on the context. In File Explorer, a blue bar over a drive icon indicates that the drive is selected or highlighted, distinct from the fill bar showing used space.

This issue has been observed on new computers and occurs randomly, with no clear pattern. Troubleshooting such problems may involve checking for driver conflicts or system updates.
