What in the world is this? Strange gun symbol when I open DS -- Solved

I've never seen this before, but now when I open DS (using 4.8.0.59), I see this little red circle with a gun in it. The circle stays, but the gun vanishes after a few seconds. It wasn't doing this earlier today, and I have no idea what's causing it.

    looks fascinating, no idea never seen it cheeky

    time to shoot the screen maybe?

    Odd, it's there when I open Blender too. Maybe it has something to do with OpenGL?

    confirms it is indeed a shoot the screen prompt, prob from Microsoft to make you get WinX as they tried every other strategy to force it unless you are on a Mac laugh

    Yeah, it's in Poser too whenever I use OpenGL, but not when I use SreeD. Windows must've installed some sort of update when I restarted my computer. I have Windows 10, so I've already fallen for their tactics. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the little bugger...

     

    Edit: Okay, I installed new drivers and restarted my computer, and now it's gone. I hope I never see the blasted thing again.

    ah explains it, you have installed WinX go shoot yourself in the foot yes

    That's weird. I'm up to date on Windows 10 updates and I have never seen anything like that in any application.

    If I had to guess what that icon is trying to tell you it appears to be a trigger lock (or a gun that works over wi-fi) 

    is it possible you have a  3rd party pointing system or drawing tablet connected to that device?

    No, the only peripherals I have are a standard keyboard and mouse. It had something to do with my dirver, since updating it made it go away. The weird thing is that I had the same driver for weeks without seeing the thing.
