Anyone seen anything like this before?  This is part of an program I use that controls the weather in the new MS Flightsim.  Mousing over various areas of the app causes graphical glitches like this where the "text" or "graphic" in that area is super zoomed in.  Moving the mouse around over it more will restore the correct display.  I noticed it after updating the app to a newer version a couple months ago, but after a Teams tech support meeting for an hour this afternoon with them we got nowhere and they are trying to blame it on a hardware or some other issue as "I'm the only one reporting this" and they can't reproduce it.  
 

 
I tried installing the older version since I still had the installer, no go.  I tried DDU and installing the older 457 drivers as I only recently installed newer ones because there was a 6 month long issue with anything newer and WoW (widespread known texture flickering issues).  Again no go.  I tried rebooting to Safe Mode With Networking and it actually worked.  So then I tried disabling all startup apps in case one of them was causing an issue.  Still the problem was there.  
 
I have zero issues with any games, apps, etc. except this one.  No errors in GPU, CPU, VRAM, RAM tests in OCCT.  The current 2080 Super FTW3 is the Hydrocopper version, temps are great, and the card only around a year old as the original was replaced due to faulty VRAM causing random BSOD's etc while running Folding (likely an issue that was there always and brought out last year when I started folding for a bit as that's when those BSODs started).  
 
We had EVGA Precision up for a bit and he was concerned that the VRAM speeds were bouncing around from idle to around 5Ghz and back down, but I think that's normal as the app seems to use GPU since PX1 actually shows the overlay on the splash screen for the app during startup.  I notice Edge does the same thing, and of course I have the default Hardware Acceleration left on in the browser settings.  My only other thought is my 20 month old PCIE riser has an issue, but again no other software is doing anything weird, just this one.  The software doesn't use much GPU either.  It would be like if your browser was doing this.  
 
I'm on the latest Win10 Pro with all updates etc.

    Looks like this has been fixed.  Of all things, the Optional Updates "Nahimic Audio" update that was on Windows Update did it.  I found a post on overclock.net in my motherboard's thread about someone having a similar issue with an overclocking tool and they were told disabling the Nahimic service fixed it for someone.  Well, I had already updated yesterday and sure enough the update fixed it.  Well, 99% sure since I had already updated randomly yesterday so never got to test disabling the service.  However it was still quite broken the day before so.

    Yeah, this is definitely one of if not the weirdest thing I've seen in 20 years of building PC's.  Just happy it's fixed and not actually a potential hardware issue.
