Hi, like, you know, with the virus and all, I decided to (re)play some games on my pc. But whenever I start a game, in the lower right corner, where the system tray is, something pops up. It closes all my other programs and tells me it has freed some memory. About 500mb or something. I have 16gb memory, so I don't really need or want this.
Now I have played many many games in the past, like from 1990 onwards. I know my pc and I know windows, but I have never seen this before and I can not find out what it is. I had to make a screenshot with my mobile phone, because it seems to be an overlay of some sort and it doesn't show up on screenshots I make on my pc.
I am using win 10 and nvidia game drivers and norton internet security. Might be one of those, but I haven't got a clue where to look.
See pics for what I mean.
PS, sorry, as I really don't have a clue what this is, I put it in the win10 forum. Also, I did many many google searches to find out what this is, but every search just leads me to some software related to system optimization. Most of those are just junk and not what I search for, so google was not my best friend this time.
PS2 Hmmm, perhaps I should have put it under gaming. Sorry.
I hope the pics show up:
