pyrates999 commented 3 months ago

what do you mean? were you not able to install it?

Leaf533 commented 3 months ago

no i installed it but the problem didnt go away

Usually if you press windows key and E together, that will open up windows explorer. You might be doing that accidentally?

If you don't need the windows key, you can try to disable it: https://www.makeuseof.com/enable-disable-windows-key/

I've never disabled it, so I can't say if this works or not.
