My device: Gateway 2-in-1 notebook, 11.6" screen (Windows 11).
Has been working well since purchase, last December (bought new)
Suddenly, immediately after boot-up, the task bar is almost completely sunken under the bezel, then, a second later, a fluttering black line, about an inch wide, appears from the bottom of the screen; thereby rendering the task bar almost unusable. I manage to actuate the start menu, and then I can restart the device.
After restart, my device works perfectly normal.
My thought is that some component is failing. As long as I can fix the situation with a restart, It's not a major problem. However, since this notebook has become my main computer, I'm concerned the problem could worsen to the point that it becomes unusable. Any idea what area of the computer may be at fault? Thanks for any insight you folks can provide.
