It sounds like you may be using a 'gaming' monitor ? Many gaming monitors have an option in their OSD setup to enable a crosshair.

I've had BenQ and ASUS monitors with this option.

Never used it myself, but believe it may not show in a screen shot because it is not generated by Windows or your graphics processor.

[EDIT: Just verified the monitor crosshair does not show on screen shot.]

White iron crosshair from Battlefield V shown permanent in Windows

I recently installed Battlefield V, and since the first time I played it, a white iron crosshair from the game has been stuck, frozen in the middle of the screen in Windows permanently. It is shown overlaying inside the game menus and it does not go away when I quit the game.

It is visible from when I boot the computer, and does not go away even when i unistalled Battlefield V. When i used print screen for this post, the crosshair was not visible in the picture.

I have since then tried the following:
-update Windows
-update Nvidia driver
-removed Origin
-started in Safe Mode
-looked in msconfig for other "suspicious" services that might start during booting

Any suggestions?
