Did as suggested and checkerboard was not present in Safe mode.
Reset computer, reloaded msfs in normal mode and checkerboard is back.
So something is conflicting as you suggested. Not sure what since community folder is completely empty.
Would Mobiflight or Loupedeck be conflicting?
Safe mode disable what you have in your community folder and your addons in your Official folder (Marketplace addons). Since you made the test with your Community folder empty the culprit should be an addon from a Marketplace purchase. You should disable them one by one to identify the one that is causing the conflict.
Removed 8 addons from marketplace before the checkerboard disappeared. Just to check I put them back on and… still no checkerboard. So whatever was broke got unbroke when I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Go figure.
It may well have been that one of those addons was due for an update. Even if you don’t see a notification badge on the upper-right of your homepage, it’s still good practice every now and then to check the Content Manager to see if there are any updates available.
