Changing the wallpaper usually fixes the issue, worked for me

I've changed the wallpaper since and it's still there.

Try changing the theme and then change it back, it might or might not work

Did you try re-installing Windows or deleting the key from the system and re-activating it again?

Ok this was stupid. I'd even restarted a 3rd time, changed the theme, changed the wallpaper, searched fruitlessly among the group policies for the option to turn it off, tested to see if my validation was authentic.

I hit F5 on the desktop and it disappeared....
