  1. Strange hotkey feature?


    Whenever I am playing Games, my WASD keys sometimes become non functional in-game and will instead open different features. W opens some whiteboard/pen option, S opens settings, A opens notifications, etc. This is really annoying, as I have no idea how I turn it on (I imagine something to do with my windows key and other keys in that part of the keyboard) and no idea how to properly turn it off without logging out of windows. What is particularly puzzling is that I have the windows key disabled, so there should not be any way for the key to get stuck. Is this a feature that can permanently be disabled?
