There is a red target like a scope crosshair in the middle of my screen.

It is activated and turned off in your on screen monitor setting. Simples really.............

I had this exact problem and usually it is the monitor not the actual pc itself. Try pressing the buttons on your monitor and see if it works? That is how I fixed it.

I have a Samsung OLED neo 55"

Go the TV settings and select "All Settings" - scroll all the way to the right to get to this

A menu should appear. With these options

picture

sound

connection,

broadcasting

general & privacy

support.

Select connection.

In connection locate and select game mode settings

There is a setting called virtual aim point.

Turn virtual aim point OFF.

That took care of it for me

I also own an MSi Raider, but am not a gamer, I'm in VM and software testing.

Your talented cat stepped on FN + F6.
Tap FN + F6 again to remove it.
The F6 key on my keyboard even has a target on it.

It's for gamers who want accurate shots on weapons without a scope.

Also if you read down a bit someone heard their fans going full blast : FN + F8
In case the laptop is cooking but the thermostat does not detect it,
you can kick up the fan to high manually.
