My monitor is an old dell monitor and my pc specs are.....ryzen 5 2600 gigabyte b450 gaming x rx 570 4gig. It also started having pink squares going ac

This doesn't seem like a monitor issue.

I've never seen that before and would reinstall Windows 10 at that point.

It’s stable now but do you think it’s a gpu issue or something else

Could be related to GPU, but might just be Windows that's acting up.

I don't think a piece of hardware would change windows' explorer design.
