  1. File explorer opens when I press a,w, and e at the same time


    Every time I am playing games I accidentally at least once hit a, w, and e at the same time which is causing me to open file explorer for some reason I don't really know how to go about fixing it or what has caused it to begin with.

    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

    Open new tab when pressing win + e in file explorer

    The tutorial didn't answer the initial question. Assuming there is already a File Explorer opened (probably at the back of some applications), when you press Win + E again, instead of opening a new window of File Explorer, it would just focus on the existing File Explorer and creates a new tab instead.

  4. File explorer opens when I press a,w, and e at the same time

    When I press the combination of a w e it opens folders without pressing the windows key

    I recently got a new keyboard and while gaming I press the combination of a w e, a lot and with this new keyboard even without pressing the windows key it opens up files is there any fix to this?
