Last night. My car walked on the keyboard when I was across the room. When I looked that red target was showing. I cannot right click it. I can move it around. I don't have any apps running other than Chrome and my antivirus. My system works fine it just had this target/scope overlay. I can move it out of the way but it's still there. I have never seen it before and I've been a Windows user since Windows 3.0. 😉

Hello Donald,

Did you check any manufacturer utility app that could cause the issue? Is there an app included in your keyboard?

**Perform a Clean Boot

Determine whether a background program or a software conflict is causing the issue.

Press Windows key+R to open Run then type: msconfig

Press Enter

Select System Configuration > go to the Services tab.

Select and make sure to put a check mark on "Hide all Microsoft services"

Click Disable all.

Go to Startup tab > Open Task Manager > Disable all the unnecessary services running there. Restart your computer.

Please check the support article at the link below for more details.

Ok. I see what i have to do. I ran a clean boot and the target/scope symbol disappeared. Something i disabled was it. I will enable one at a time to see what app it is. I will let you know when i find out.

Thank You!
