I'm hoping someone can help me get rid of this checkerboard background. Not sure if it happened with the upgrade, but it is giving me a headache.

These are video rulers and so on.
To avoid them use another document preset ( no Video preset).
To remove them in existing documents see:
Starting with Illustrator, problem with background and artwork
( sorry, screenshots from my computer in german language)
If that works for you
have fun

Thanks. I was able to get rid of the background pattern finally. The video rulers don't want to go away even when not chosen.

Like @Kurt Gold wrote before. If you only mean the checkerboard background grid. You can toggle on and off that in the view menu.
Note: The standard shortcut is [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[D]
Maybe you used it accidentally.
