vPilot overlay is covering the cockpit panel

I'm getting a very strange issue.  I've done a PC rebuild, so got the latest versions of MSFS and vPilot, plus the PMDG 737.  When I open a flight in the 737 I can't see the cockpit panel if I'm connected to a server in vPilot!

Couple of images attached and available on these links (https://ibb.co/5TX6vGP and https://ibb.co/C5Xp5SZ).

Basically when I'm connected in vPilot there appears to be a black block overlaying the cockpit panel view, therefore I'm unable to use the panel.

I'm completely confused as to what it maybe, any ideas please?

Can't you just move your vpilot window to your other monitor?

Is Settings > Miscellaneous > Keep window visible selected?

In vPilot Settings > Miscellaneous > Keep window visible is unchecked

I don't use MSFS with 2 monitors, actually I tend to use VR but not until I've gotten into the flight with vPilot running, so that I can contact Ground.  It's when I get into the flight with vPilot connected to the server that I can't see the panel.

However, coming to my PC today and the problem has disappeared!  I can only suspect it was caused by some left over from the video driver update before reboot.
