Windows 10: Delete gets activated constantly

For a couple of weeks I've been having a persistent issue where delete keeps getting activated. When this happens all text in front of the cursor gets rapidly deleted, and any file or deletable thing I click on gets deleted. The issue happens across all programs including MS Word, Chrome, File Explorer, Lightroom, and so on. It seems to get temporarily turned off when I press the left Ctrl key, but then it turns back on within a few seconds or minutes. I can't figure out anything that I do that is turning it back on. If I restart my computer the issue stops temporarily, but then comes back. I've removed the right Ctrl key and Delete keys to make sure nothing is stuck in there. I've turned off all the options for sticky keys in the settings too. This issue is infuriating and preventing me from getting my work done. Please help!

SSD Constantly Active

May be something to look into, but I had a similar LED activity light on the Plextor M.2's early on. The activity light was just constantly on, like it was doing something, had me very worried! Ended up being a firmware update that I needed to correct it. Was much more quiet after that. Just seemed it reported it's activity incorrectly.

What about if you load into the BIOS/UEFI and just sit there. Is it still lit up likes it's active?

 

Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

 

Unable to delete a folder - Invalid folder name


Suggestion:

1. Run chkdsk x: /r to make sure that there's no HD corruption.
   x: is the drive containing the folder you want to delete.
2. Try to delete the folder again. If still does not work, go to step 3.
3. Download: Download - Linux Mint and create a bootable USB using: Rufus - Create bootable USB
4. Boot up with Linux Mint and try to delete the folder again.
   NOTE: Unlike WinPE. Linux does not have any Windows permission imposed to it so it is easier to delete.
