    At random times, left clicking with my mouse activates Win + D and minimizes all windows. I used Keyviz to confirm that it does actually activate the shortcut. I wasn't touching my keyboard at all. Help is appreciated

    Method 2: Compatibility mode

    I would suggest you to install the latest available drivers on manufacturer's website in compatibility mode.

    Follow the steps below on how to install driver in compatibility mode:

    1. Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    2. Right click on the setup file of the driver and select “Properties”.

    4. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.
