I'm not a windows user for years, but some my relatives are.

I've been just pinged by them and asked to explain the new icon shown on their taskbar (because "you are a computer guy", you know)...

  • The icon: This icon
  • The window: blank window

My investigation resulted in:

  • It's in taskbar, not in notifications (i.e. closer to left).
  • It disappears after reboot.
  • It displays a small blank white window if clicked on.
  • It looks like it does nothing.

My googling failed.

  • Can anybody tell me what is this?
  • How to get rid of it?

Yep, that are crops from sorta screenshots taken with a phone sent via WhatsApp...
Yep, that PC is running standard builtin windows antiviral tool...
Yep, it's a mere desktop PC, not a notebook, with normal non-touchscreen display.
And yes, this PC is not local to me and is operated by a non-tech person.

It looks like the icon for PrintKey-Pro.

From the web site:

It seems to be a some sort of a (damaged) on-screen keyboard application - the white rectangle is probably a (damaged) keyboard:

Try clicking on different parts of that rectangle whereas the focus is in the Notepad (or some other application waiting for the keyboard input).
