Windows 10: why is my windows key a pause/play button in games?

My windows key is acting as a play button when playing certain games such as teardown and stardew valley are being played. Alt Tabing does not work either. I recently got a new computer with a radeon 6600xt graphics card and have found nothing on how to fix this issue

I recently resetted my windows and now the WinKey is acting as a play/pause button.

edit: I just used a key remapper (keytweak) to fix it

 

NEEDED: A PAUSE button or feature on Microsoft Solitaire timed EVENTS games

Hi, Solitaire game fans -

I am frustrated that I cannot press a pause button, when needed, to step away from an EVENT without the minutes I am away from the game being added to my total play time. I feel this does not give an accurate challenge time, if it includes my time away
from my computer. Does anyone else feel the same?

I THINK GAME DEVELOPERS NEED TO INCORPORATE A PAUSE BUTTON ON EVENT CHALLENGE GAMES. I HOPE THIS SUGGESTION IS SEEN BY A GAME DEVELOPER WHO CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

Sincerely,

Beth

I'm using a Acer Nitro 5 and after the 2004 version update the windows key started acting as a play/pause button, so I resetted hoping it would fix it.
