    PC freezes on Minimizing the game by pressing windows key on Win11

    My PC is freezing when i press Windows Key to minimize the game i am playing.

    Not everytime but once or twice a week but on a regular basis.

    This problem mostly happens when i try to minimize Valorant (competitive title) by pressing windows key.

    Though i limited in-game FPS to 450fps.

    PC spec:

    CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x

    GPU: RTX 3070 (Gigabyte Aorus Master)

    RAM: G.skill Ripjaws V 8GB x2(16GB)

    Mobo: X570 msi Tomahawk wifi

    Case: c200 glass gigabyte

    AIO: Gamdias 240m lite

    SSD: 970 evo plus 500GB nvme

    Monitor: gigabyte g27f 144hz

    I updated my motherboard Bios to the Latest version.

    I tried reinstalling fresh Windows 11. Along with all the drivers (chipset, GPU, Ethernet etc)

    I tried reinstalling all the hardware inside the PC case( Ram, GPU, CPU, SSDs, HDDs)

    I monitored my GPU and CPU temperatures.

    71-80° for GPU on 100% load (Furmark testing)

    And 60-78° for CPU on 100% load (Ryzen Master)

    Both at ambient temperature of 28-30°

    I Run windows memory diagnostic tools and didn't find any problem with memories.

    PC crashes when closing, minimizing or pressing the Windows key while playing games

    Pressing right arrow key minimizes/dual screens programs and works as windows keys

    When ingame it minimizes the games, when using on screen keyboard it shows it's working as the Windows key, this only recently started to happen and some suggested fixes (like restarting, pressing Windows key, reinstalling keyboard drivers, etc.) don't seem to work.
