<![CDATA[Opera screen glitching out and wallpaper being replaced]]>I am a laptop based user. Here's the issue: The browser suddenly glitches out and the wallpaper of my new tab is suddenly replaced with my home screen. I mean it's like telecasting what's going on in the home screen, also, the display includes all the files present on the home screen. It's really creeping me out. Please help, I am scared and creeped out.

Intel does make GPUs, and of course many laptop processors actually include the GPU on the same chip (even if technically it is a separate process).

You may be able to resolve the glitches by disabling hardware acceleration in the settings. No guarantee of course, but give it a try.

I don't have a Graphics Card. I have the Intel UHD which i am pretty sure uses the CPU

Years ago, I had a system which would do that. Of course, that was tied to the really poor graphics on that system - but I wouldn't expect anything like that to have an i7. Make sure all your graphics-related drivers are up to date.

Kind of sounds like a GPU crash, so what's your system like and is hardware acceleration enabled or disabled?

How can I explain this to you? Ok... Got it, Imagine my homescreen as a youtube video ok? So when it glitches out, The browser wallpaper displays everything thats going on, my mouse movement, the progress bar of stuff etc etc. It is like that

Do you have any mods installed? Sometimes mods can do weird things to the screen the creator thought was "fun", so make sure to try with mods disabled.
