Popup menus in Windows 10 are drawn blank after playing a game

I played the game Hellblade on my laptop with Intel HD 630/NVIDIA 1050Ti graphics. I have also an external display. Before I played the game I switched off the external monitor via the Windows settings menu. After I played the game the popup menus on WIndows 10 are drawn blank. If I press for example PrtScr they are drawn properly. This issue appears only on the builtin Display - which I think is drawn by the HD630. The popup menus are drawn properly on the external display connected via HDMI and I believe are drawn by the NVIDIA GPU.

That looks like a nasty driver bug to me!

Logging out and in - fixes the issue. The driver is the version installed by Windows Update 22.20.16.4836.
