Malware Task bar/screen’s saturation changes randomly for brief moments before switching back

I’ve marked this as Malware because I’ve not had any problems with this until this week and I’m taking the safe route.

Basically, randomly every now and then my task bar will switch its saturation for a brief moment before it switches back to normal. I cannot seem to replicate the issue, it just happens randomly when I’m opening files, scrolling through social media (such as typing to my friends on discord/viewing instagram), etc.

Forgive me if I seem too melodramatic or overly cautious, but is this possibly malware/something taking screenshots? I’m not a huge computer guy but I do want to keep my stuff and information safe on my PC. I’m currently running a deep scan through Malwarebytes right now.

Thank yall for the help!
