Hello @user,

I understand you're experiencing issues with a buggy overlay. Let's try adjusting a setting within GeForce Experience that might help fix this problem:

1. Press `Alt` + `Z` to open the GeForce Experience overlay.
2. Click on the **settings icon** in the bottom right corner.
3. Scroll down and select **Privacy Control**.
4. Find and disable the **Desktop Capture** option.

These steps often resolve overlay bugs by limiting the overlay functionality to your game windows only, rather than capturing the entire desktop.

If you continue to face issues after trying these steps, or if there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to reach out.
