    I dropped my phone on my keyboard and now I have this display stuck in the upper right corner of my screen. Whats it called (so I can look it up) or how do I disable it?

    Did you fix it? Restarting your computer might fix it. Looks something like a Microsoft power tool popup. Installed an optimization utility lately? They have tools which when activated by a hot key will give you temps, processor, graphics, and memory usage via a popup.

    I was on my couch with my laptop one time and one of my cats jumped across my keyboard and my screen rotated 90 degrees. I have no idea what string of keys he stroked but took me a week to figure out. That cat was evil, I just know it was on purpose.

    Didn't fix mine but I tried. This was years ago, I don't know what the fix was.

    Yeah its a program to monitor your computers performance. Just have to see what the hot key is to activate it. If you don't know how to do that then just hit every key until it pops up again. You really only need that after stressing your computer mostly to monitor the temp so your computer doesn't shut down.

    Primary IT advice. Power it down. Turn it back on.
