Bug? Fusion 360 Strange round red shadow with Symbol (looks like gun)

[schneju]

Hello there,

today I reinstalled fusion 360 (EDU) after i did a clean Win10 Install. I noticed a strange behavior that i never had before. On Startup Fusion shows a red Shadow as overlay in the lower center of the window. Sometimes there appears a symbol within the circle. The Symbol looks like a gun for me. I am really confused about this. 


I would be happy if somebody can tell me how to get rid of this strange behavior.

Hi,

to me it looks more like the visit of an uninvited "guest".
As a precaution, I would scan the system before trying to reinstall after a Clean Uninstall.
Maybe @Phil.E  can say something about.

That is not a bug, nor is it an Autodesk icon or anything to do with Fusion 360. Looks like something from a gaming app or gaming mouse drivers. Do you have a game installed/running or a game controller attached to your computer?

@schneju do you perchance have any gaming/audio drivers that show where sound is coming from, e.g. Nahimic Audio?

Sometimes gaming software picks up Fusion 360 as a game due to its graphics-intensive workflows, and that might be what's happening here.

I think Lance is right. This description sounds exactly like your issue and it's from Asus Sonic Radar:

Thank you all for your super fast answers!

@g-andresenI have checked your suggestion and am glad that my system is not infected.

@Phil.E,@lance.carocci  and @mstrater were right. The "problem" was caused by Asus Sonic Radar. I hadn't noticed that this software was installed during the driver installation.

Thanks again all of you! This thread can be closed now.
