I have a weird problem with my Windows 8 laptop. Every time I log in to desktop, several hotkey shortcuts are enabled, but WITHOUT using the Windows key. So what happens is, the first time I hit the 'F' key by itself, the Files menu suddenly appears. Or, the first time I hit the 'R' key by itself, the Run command box pops open. Or, the first time I hit the 'M' key by itself, all windows get minimized.
To prevent this from happening during my logged-in session, I have to press the Windows key by itself, 2-3 times, and then the issue stops happening - until the next time I am logged in, and then the process repeats itself. In other words, every time I log in, I need to tap the Windows key a few times in order to prevent this from happening while logged in.
I am using the Start Menu 8 program, which I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it. The laptop is an Asus N56V and I haven't upgraded to 8.1 yet. I am unable to remember when this started happening. I seem to recall doing some Windows update around the time I noticed the problem.
Anyone have an idea what the issue is? Thanks!
