This is called 'ghosting', it has to do with the monitor not updating the pixels fast enough, which shows a 'ghost' of the cursor in the previous frame on screen.

As said above, check your monitor's settings. Sometimes this can be a certain mode (i.e. gaming mode, photo mode, etc. where one has better response time vs. the other having better colors) or a certain overdrive setting.

I just turned on my PC like normally I do everyday, but when I'm dragging the window I saw something unusual. There is a white shadow behind everything, if i move something it will create a white shadow behind it. That shadow is very annoyed me when im playing games. I don't really know what the cause of this problem, so I reinstall the GPU driver and reset the monitor settings, but it doesn't fix it. Please check the video down below. I'm afraid that is an artifact so I need to replace GPU, I never saw somenthing like this before.

 

GPU : Asrock Phantom Gaming X570

Monitor : Samsung LS24R350

 

1. Why that happens / what the cause?

2. What is that shadow thing called?

3. How do I fix it?

It's not an artifact. Forgot what it was called but its usually something to do with the monitor's response time. If you can find a setting in your monitor for it set it to a lower option. On some monitors I think it's called overdrive.

Try changing Overdrive/OD setting in the monitor.

Hey I fixed it by changing the respond time to standard. Thank you.
