Fixed PNG on Side of Screen When Searching on Bing

PaeanL · Nov 25, 2021

Hello!

There is an image on my screen that popped up today of a blue game controller. However, it has a white background that is rather suspicious looking for something affiliated with Microsoft. I took a few screenshots of what I am seeing below. The 1st is a zoomed-in image, the 2nd is zoomed out, and the 3rd is what happens when I click on it. Any insight into what this image might be or if it is a virus? Also, I can't figure out how to take a screenshot of this, but when I hover my mouse over the icon it reads "Click to have fun with Games".

Thank you!

:)

Hello, Samy!

I reset the browser and the icon disappeared. Now I suppose it's just waiting to see whether the icon will return...

Thank you!

It doesn't seem to be related to this issue. Could you check if you have any apps installed that could be doing this?

Windows key + i and go to apps and see if you find something related.

You can also try resetting the browser.

Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner>settings>reset settings

Hello, Samy!

Thank you for your reply! The png does only appear in the Edge browser. However, it looks like I only have 3 extensions installed, and none of them are related to gaming. I have attached a screenshot below. For context, StayFocusd and Super Simple Highlighter are highly reputed extensions from the Microsoft Store. Do you think there's something else it could be?

Thank you so much for your help,

Does it only appear when you have the Edge browser open? Doesn't appear in other browsers?

It could be some extension you have installed in your browser, click on the 3 dots in the top right corner>extensions>manage extensions and see if you find any extensions related to that.
