Since the Dec 3rd Steam update, launching certain games leaves behind an artifact of the "Preparing to launch..." window that stays on screen, but is completely immovable and un-interactive. It's as if the OS doesn't know there's a window there, but the image is stuck on screen blocking whatever's behind it.

In lieu of a screenshot, instead see this YouTube video I made demonstrating the issue. I hope you don't mind :P

Valve note: I didn't see this in testing a few games.

The patch from ~2 days ago fixed the issue as far as I could tell.

Nothing extracted yet.
