   accidentally clicked on something in a display management app but cannot find   
   it. Hardware on machine    
   includes an MSI motherboard, Nvidia graphics card, Lian Li cooler, and a BenQ   
   DesignVue PD2706U 27" 4K HDR Designer Monitor. The software for these   
   components has been downloaded and installed and Photo Shop is on the machine.   
   Any ideas what is    
   displaying the unwanted information or how to determine and turn off?

   hell did I (recently) stumble on this location to turn this mess on. I wonder   
   if some update was doing gratuitous things.
