This could be unusual, but the system seems to report GPU and CPU activity together with FPS and latency data. It’s not related to a game; it’s just showing up every time I start my PC. I’m confused about what triggered this behavior. Once noticed, it becomes an issue because it affects all programs running on my machine. If anyone knows how to resolve this, please let me know. The display appears in the top-right corner of my screen and looks like this: ---

Things to consider ---
1) It isn’t Steam.
2) It’s not my current wallpaper.
3) I restarted the system recently.
4) I ended any other programs that might have caused it, like peripherals or MSI Center.

Things to keep in mind ---
1) I’m using Windows 11.
2) Here are my PC details if helpful: ---

Did you look for "startup apps" in the task manager? Something relevant should appear there.

It might be an Nvidia overlay; look at the video to confirm.

Yes, it turned out that way. I was getting the Blender tutorial and likely pressed Alt+R to open it. I haven’t used Nvidia tools for screenshots or recordings, so I don’t rely on them much beyond driver updates. Still, thanks a lot!

Hey, if you don’t want to see it more than once, just switch off the overlay in the Nvidia app.

Absolutely, that's exactly what I did. It's interesting how things seem different when you look back.
