Yeah, I installed the "vc_redist.x64.exe", I will have to check my dual monitor setup then and my MSI Afterburner... if it isn't either of those, then I guess I am kind of screwed, as I don't want to have to start uninstalling the stuff that I use for game and content creation.Yes, Sonnix is required AFAIK. Did you try installing "vc_redist.x64.exe" in the game's QSP folder? I have a similar system to yours, only difference is the CPU (9900K) and RAM (32GB) size.
My only issue with the Sonnix was sometimes it doesn't like my dual monitor setup, so if you're using more than one monitor, exit from screen "cloning" or "extending" modes and just use the main monitor or try different combinations with monitors until it starts working.
Also a tiny possibility is any software using overlay like MSI AfterBurner, Aida64, screen capturing tools, etc. maybe causing QSP to act weird.
Thanks sabbathfun, hopefully that will help some.
