Windows 10: How to close GPU status window?

Hi there,


I think I must've pressed an incorrect shortcut yesterday on my Windows 10 computer at work & this little window popped up which shows GPU status, temp, fan speed, RAM, etc:



I have no idea how I did it and can't figure out how to close it, but it's really annoying and getting in the way! If anyone can tell me how I can close it I would be hugely grateful! I've tried searching around online, but because I don't know what these things are called!


Cheers,


Ethan

B(lack)SOD after closing GPU demanding applications and games


I would like to suggest 2 more things if you don't mind,
1. Seat the GPU in another slot, if possible, and see if that helps anything
2. Use the GPU in another system, if possible, this is a step to determine that it is really the GPU and not multiple defective slots or something else from the system.

I appreciate your interest on windows 10.

I understand your concern and will help you with the issue.

As you said, you are facing the issue while playing a game that requires better gpu.so, the issue is related to graphics driver.

I would suggest you to follow the steps below:

Method 1

As, you tried uninstalling nvidia gpu and installing newest drivers(358.50),and it did not work. so, in that case I suggest you to download and install the earlier version of the driver from
manufacturer website and check .

If issue persists,

Method 2

I suggest you to disable Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 and check if it helps..

To do so, Please follow the steps below:

  Type devicemanager in the
  search bar.

  Expand the display driver.
