Win 11 Taskbar Wifi Popup Shows weird Option/Title/Text

Below is a screenshot of the wifi popup. Note the bottom of the image where is say "Airplane mc Mobile hot". No idea when this first appeared. 

What is this? Where does it come from? Is this something I need to be concerned about? How do I get rid of it?

I have tried doing a complete WiFi reset and even a system restore from about 4  weeks ago but this Text persists.

    Such options have been around for a while and are feature of Windows to have easier access.
    However, the issue is there should be a border around them which is mising.
    Try restart your PC and see if the problem persists?
    Are you using Insider build?

      Window reboot, Network (to factory settings) Reset, System Restore none of which made any difference.
      Not sure what Insider build is

      BTW The "options" beneath the text Network & Internet Settings are not clickable/selectable. In othwerword, they appear to do nothing

    Just checked this popup menu on my other pc running win10. This explains the weird text on my Win11 installation but does not explain why the WIFI popup appears corrupted under Win11

     

    This is the same popup under win10
