  1. Windows 10 Display overlay issue


    Hi there, the other day on my windows laptop after I began to see weird boxes like lines on my screen on my display. I assumed it was just a bug at the time until I started seeing the same overlay pop up elsewhere. I noticed it was of a website I was looking at the other day and it started to overlay on my display very very faintly. I restarted my device and reinstalled chrome to where I was seeing the display. However, it started to appear with a different display to another program I was using again and as well started appearing the same issue on my home computer. Any solutions to this issue, all help is appreciated Thanks :

    :)

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    Ok, I got a question. The options to hide the overlay are confusing. What are the steps to turn on the overlay in-game? Not interested in logging much at the moment. Is Alt-R part of turning it on/off?

  3. Windows 10 Search Overlay Issue

    Hi Brad,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    1. Does this overlay issue occur only at the time of browsing from the browser?
    2. Are you using any non-Microsoft security software?


    Method 1: Enable Clear Type Tuning

    The ClearType Tuner helps improve font display resolution so that letters on the computer screen appear smooth, not jagged.

    1. To get to the ClearType, go to
      Control panel
      and select the Display option in the right column.
    2. On the right pane of the Display window, click on
      Adjust ClearType text link.
    3. Select the checkbox Turn on ClearType and click
      Next button to go to the next step.
    4. You will see five tiny windows exhibiting the samples of the text that you wish to set.
    5. Click Next on the following five sample windows by selecting your required text type.
    6. On the appearance of the last window click Finish after completing the tuning of the text for your monitor.
    7. Restart the computer and check the status of the issue.


    Method 2: Update Drivers

    Based on the screenshot which you have included, this issue might occur possible due to display adapters. It is required to check the status of the issue after updating the display adapters.

    Please refer the article on how to update drivers in Windows 10. Check the
    status of the issue after updating the Display adapters.



    You may also refer the article Fix apps that appear blurry in Windows 10
    for more information.





    Let us know if you need further help with the issue.





    Hope it helps.

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    The performance overlay works great in game and I'm impressed with the ReLive recording quality.

    It's the Alt+R desktop panel overlay that isn't showing the correct (Performance and Chill) items still, which is a tad puzzling.

    EDIT
    Scratch that!
    According to AMD's overview '
    Radeon Overlay In-Game menu provides two additional choices, which are:
    • Performance Monitoring
    • Radeon Chill
    So those two options only appear in-game. Apologies for leading people astray.
