[SOLVED] Keyboard Opening Shortcuts Instead of Typing Letters (Windows)

If your keyboard is triggering shortcuts instead of typing letters, it might be due to accidentally pressing the Win + Alt combination, which activates shortcuts for supported apps in Windows. Other potential reasons include a stuck or faulty Win key, issues with Sticky and Filter keys, and a malfunctioning keyboard driver.

The good news is that resolving this problem is straightforward. Here, we guide you through the steps to take when your keyboard opens random applications and shortcuts instead of typing letters.

This is not working for me. Everytime I push the window and alt keys. It doesn't work. It just opens something else.
