Control Tooltips show as Unassigned

I updated to the latest version of BF 2042 and I've have an issue of all of the control tooltips show as "UNASSIGNED" until I press a key. When I do press a key, like W to move forward, the correct control mappings show. I'm using keyboard and mouse and not using a custom control scheme.

Steps I've tried to fix this: 

1. I am not using a custom control scheme and have tried resetting the controls to default.

2. I deleted the local settings in Documents/Battlefield 2042 

3. Uninstalled the game and did a fresh install (including deleting the Documents/Battlefield 2042 folder after uninstalling)

Nothing has worked so far. Attached a screenshot in game of what I'm seeing

    Hi @DryFlyActual, I assume you don't use any one drive software that keep replacing your save files for 2042 with old settings?

    @SlapZtickz It just helped me. Giving it a twirl with S3 and was getting a really janky unassigned tooltip that would flash on and off. Also have a logitech extreme for elite dangerous and pulling the plug on it fixed it. Didn't hurt the gameplay at all, just visually annoying.
