How do I close the CPU-performance window
I accidentally pressed an combination of buttons I can't remember and it opened a window on the top left side of the screen that shows CPU-performance and other tech specs. I can not interact with it in the normal way by clicking on it or something, so I gues I need another button shortcut to close it but which one? Even when I end the game it happened in or restart the deck, when I open the game again it opens again by itself.

Hi there
I did the same thing, just followed the steps mentioned but in my battery settings it says the overlay is off already.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Sometimes it happens after an update. Just to a reboot and it should align with your menu setting.

This problem is still with us. I think that by now Steam should have found out what is switching it on (it isn't us users) and why we can not switch it off except by doing a full power down (a restart does not fix it). It has been a year now and no one seems to have looked at it.

Once it comes on it stays on for all games. The right menu claims it is already off, switching it on then off does not fix it. Only a full power down fixes it.
