Windows 10: whenever i press alt or hold it down, it closes the currently open app and spams this...

i have no footage of it yet but i will be getting some soon, its really annoying, i hold down alt and this windows shut down panel gets spammed, then when i open files some weird thing happens to the search bar its just really hard to explain

:)

 

Pressing the ALT key makes my computer press different keys on the keyboard

When I press and/or hold down that alt key on my keyboard. My computer just does random stuff like turn on CAPS LOCK, muting discord using my keyboard shortcut, close apps, open apps. From what I see on the virtual keyboard keys just get randomly pushed
every time I press and/or hold the ALT key.

 

Alt+Tab gets suck intermittently when trying to switch Apps

I just tried it and it opens the preview as you mentioned then holding down the Alt key while pressing Tab lets the highlight [white lines/box] move through the choices. Releasing the keys on one choice then opens it. Holding the keys shows the previews like a screensaver, steps rapidly through them.

 

Desktop is displayed on closing the current page on Windows 10.

Hello Gary,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

• Did you minimize the tabs before opening the current page/window?
• Does the issue occur even when the tabs are not minimized and you try to get to the previously browsed page/window?

I suggest you to check if the issue persists when trying to switch from currently browsing page/window to the previously browsed page/window is not minimized. To do so follow the steps below:

• Open a web page/app window on the desktop and open another program on the page while retaining the previously opened page in the background.
• Minimize the current page you are at and check if the previously opened web page/app window is accessible. You can also press
  Alt + Tab keys on the keyboard and check if you are able to access the previously accessed web page/app window.

Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



Thank you.
