Windows 10: How can I disable the annoying blue rectangle in Windows Camera?

I know this issue has been raised many times in the last 5 or 6 years, but I think it needs to be raised again.

Verticle blue rectangle on monitor

My boss's monitor at work has this teal/blue rectangle going from the top all the way to the bottom of the screen. It's a 23" monitor, I would say the line going down the screen is about 1.5-2" wide. It occasionally will fade away and everything seems normal, sometimes even turning redish instead of the blue. I don't figure there's much I can do for it, but if anyone had any ideas that might work I'm all for impressing the boss *Smile
