I recently had some monitor issues that this forum helped me to resolve. Now during cleanup I've found some information that I neither requested nor want that appears in the upper right of my main monitor. See the attached image.

Where did it come from (I don't care) and more importantly how do I get rid of it? It's distracting and annoying.

Thanks

Does your monitor have an included software package? Looks like an app for that or GPU driver software.

It's the NVIDIA Overlay, probably. Alt-R toggles it, or you can go into settings in the NVIDIA app and disable it.
