Windows 10: Media App Pop Up while Typing

Hi,


This recently started happening for no apparent reason, whenever I am typing - doesn't seem to matter in which program - emails, word docs or even now as I type this, the media player or Groove Music will randomly pop up, seems like it might be responding to short cut keys, happens mostly on 'I'.


I have checked this is not set to Automatic, it is set to Manual.


Thanks,

Jon
