Windows 10: Pressing Win+D one time, open and close repeatedly start menu in Windows 10?

After getting the latest updates for Windows 10, when I press Win-key and hold it to press D Win +D or Win + E, the start menu keeps opening and closing. I think, it doesn't have any sense that I long pressed the win-key. Why is this happening? because of keyboard driver?

Thanks in advance,

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
