The glitch does not seem to appear with turned off D2D as can be observed here.

Hmmmm. I am not getting that at all.

Here is what I get:

Left is 4.2, Right is 4.3

I wonder if this is an issue with certain graphics cards and/or graphics drivers. Feels similar to this: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?p=151598#p151598

The problem is gone after reinstalling Windows.

Found the culprit. After installing either Steam, or a game from steam, or SageThumbs, I got this setting changed shown on the screenshot below. Be sure not to have "High Performance NVIDIA" with Rainmeter, in case if such bug happens to you. I will remind, I have:
