Windows 10: Crtl Key opens default browser window. Windows key shuts down pc.

Whenever I press the LEFT control key, the default browser opens a new window > And whenever I press the Windows key, my PC shuts down.I am using Windows 11What could possibly be causing this? I have turned off sticky keys, and when I open the onscreen keyboard and press control or the Windows key these problems DO NOT occur.

Ctrl key opens new tab in default browser or mutes and unmutes volume, Windows key shuts down computer, F5 key opens search bar

I just installed Windows 11, and haven't changed any settings

I booted in safe mode and the problem still occurs

Refreshing Human Interface Devices didn't help

The virtual keyboard seems to work without problems

I checked on many forums and a lot of people seem to have this problem, although not one suggested solution has worked for me yet, please help

 

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
