[SOLVED] Weird arrow circle symbol on my desktop

[ThrashOrDie]

What on earth is this? It just suddenly appeared. Something must be bugged. Maybe someone can help me.
Also, it won't go away even after restarting the PC.
Thank you.

What happens if you click/right click on it?

It kind of looks like origin's logo, but thiers is orange. Do you have origins on your pc?

It brings up the windows notification sidebar (because that's underneath). Clicking the symbol doesn't do anything.

I would be highly disinclined to activate that button in any way. Hovering over it to see if there is a pop-up description is as far as I'd go.

As I wrote to the guy above, it doesn't react to my mouse at all, clicking, hovering, nothing. I think it has something to do with the windows game feature thing that you bring up with win+g. But I'm not sure why it's there, or how to get rid of it.

It also won't appear in screenshots, snipping tool, for example, won't capture it, so it must be part of an overlay. And I'm pretty sure it's part of that windows game feature overlay, not sure what the exact name is.

Check your task manager and see if you can track it down in processes

I get nothing like that if Game Bar is active or inactive. So I've got nothin' as I've never seen this before.

I'd look in task manager just to see if something "odd" shows up that you're not used to seeing.

Steam overlay?

NVIDIA Shadowplay is my guess.

Experience / Prefs / Shadowplay / Turn off.

Yea, that was it. Thank you. Weird that that just popped up. Been using Nvidia Experience for so long and never had that come up.

And a thank you to both @gardenman for the correct identification and @ThrashOrDie for confirming it as such.
