What the heck is this?

This radial flickering image appeared in the Welcome screen and doesn't go away despite a reboot.  I don't recall making any changes to anything but it appeared this morning right out of the blue.  What is it, and how do I get rid of it?

Do you have an Asus motherboard by chance? Could be this: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1038250/

Nope, it's an MSI mobo, and I've done about 8 flights now in MSFS and haven't seen this--just showed up uninvited this morning.  That definitely could be the type of overlay described in the video above.  I thought when I was looking at it that it might be responding to audio.  Thanks for that it gives me a clue of where to look.

This display is not part of the simulator. It is part of a 3D sound tool of your sound card that can be disabled there.

Thanks for that Dan the weird part was I have not changed anything, including sound drivers etc.

its there to help you simulate the effects of flying while on hallucinogenic drugs. 🙂

It's the CD you have to insert in the dashboard slot of your aeroplane in order for it to verify you have a genuine aeroplane made by the original factory and not a knock off copy of the aeroplane made in Taiwan. 🤣

Ok great thanks for that.  Turned out disabling the NVIDIA audio driver got rid of it. It's an MSI board w/ realtek software.
