Windows 10: Calculator randomly opening - Windows 10

Hello, I have been dealing with a problem where calculator opens up randomly. When this started happening I ran into multiple issues at the same time such as Windows key, alt key, ctrl key not working and random symbols getting typed _!?_!?_!?.... I fixed this problem by disabling laptop keyboard drivers, but the calculator randomly opening still didn't get fixed so I tried to uninstalling the calculator app. Next time it happened it asked me to open ms-calculator in another app and gave me the option to find another app in microsoft store. I had also tried doing a virus scan Malwarebytes

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
