That didn't solve the problem either and I would still sometimes randomly enter this 'mode'. One thing I did was I went onto my keyboards software and just completely disabled windows key. the windows key is not being held down, and after dealing with this for a while I haven't found anything to fix the problem. My computer literally just enters a state randomly where every button i push is tied towards a windows function. Everywhere I looked online points towards the possibility of my windows key being stuck, however this is not the case. Now the first obvious thing I notice is these are all commands that normally function when being pressed while having the windows key held down. Bottom line, I can't type and every button I push just opens more windows and screws stuff up.

Hitting 'r' opens run, my spacebar switches between keyboard input languages I have set up, and a whole other slew of shortcut keys I forgot to take note of. So recently I have been having a problem where sometimes randomly while playing games my computer enters a weird 'mode', as I am going to call it, where every button I press performs a shortcut rather than function as a normal button.
