when i start games in fullscreen mode (for example transport fever 2 or rimworld) sometimes windows ink starts then forcing me to restart the pc as pressing any key does activate a shortcut or so then

i press d for example and land on my empty desktop
i press w and the last opened window minimizes or similar

anyone knows how i can disable that?

ah most likeley windows key is being pressed.

#

Seeing Windows Key + D is desktop

#

if that holds up , it could be your press other keys on your keyboard 🤔 or something pressing the Windows key.

ima do a sfc before i restart just to be sure

#

thankfully its pretty fast on nvme ssds

#

you can always try dism aswell

#

SFC basically tries to check with in cache for stability in drivers, and some older files in a folder.
