Do this, NOW and do not restart or turn off your computer just yet

no virus is gonna give you an annoying visual glitch. Just restart your computer cause windows 10 gets buggy.

I remember having issues in the past with computers and when I turned them off (which I shouldn't have) the whole thing broke down and stopped working. It may not be safe to shut it off just yet

Seems to me a like a simple ClassicShell/Explorer crash which can be caused by many things. If you terminate Explorer and/or ClassicShell in the Task Manager and then restart Explorer (File>Run new task>Type in "explorer" without quotation marks>OK), it should clear the problem easily.

I notice that this stuff commonly happens to me whenever a game takes focus and doesn't close out properly, and Explorer panics a bit.

This will literally never be the result of a virus. No virus is designed to simply bug out your explorer bar. Anybody who thinks that is, frankly, a colossal idiot.

The only "virus" I know that does visual glitchs is MEMZ, which you have to download and run for it to destroy your PC. Just restart your computer and it should be fine.

Odd, but very likely this is a ClassicShell glitch given how it interacts with Explorer.

As Steve and plad said, the best option now is to just restart the PC. If it happens again, take care to note exactly what you were doing when it happened; it's possible that opening/closing something may cause this issue.

I paid for malwarebytes premium and it works wonders. The free one is just as good though.
