Pincushion effect after OMEN boost

[AleGsZ95]

Hi everyone!

I recently got an OMEN 17.3 inch Gaming Laptop PC 17-ck1000 (509V8AV): https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-17.3-inch-gaming-laptop-pc-17-ck1000/2100997909/model/2100...

And wanted to test it what it can do, starting some demanding applications, games and so on. Then I discovered there's a software for this type of laptop (OMEN Gaming Hub) and got it to see whats up with that. After playing around with it, I used the feature to "boost" a game, whatever that meant, and after boosting it, the game graphics turned weird, it had like the "pincushion effect" in it, like the sides of the game would be pushed inward. Would require me to click like 3-4 cm away from the actual in-game option in order to access it.

Must say, that before I boosted the game, I played it and everything was displayed correctly, but then its got unplayable.

Any idea what could go on here and how to revert to normal?

Got Win11, 22H2, every driver is updated.

Tried reverting in-game option to normal, "de-boost" it, even reinstall it and nothing happens.

Thanks alot!

Alex
