[SOLVED] Calculator App Launching on Right Arrow Key Press

[gabrieltmangum]

I don't know if this belongs in this category or in peripherals, as the issue seems to persist beyond just one system running Windows 10. To keep it simple, whenever I press the right arrow key on my Ducky ONE 2 TKL keyboard, the windows native calculator app launches. This issue is happening both on my personal pc and on my work laptop. I will note that the built in keyboard for my work laptop doesn't have the same behavior (I swap the cable for my keyboard whenever I want to type on one system or the other). I can't seem to find a solution anywhere so maybe you guys can assist me. Thanks in advance!

Edit: I should add that this began seemingly randomly. I've also noticed that if I spam the right arrow key it takes a screenshot as well as open more calculator instances. Also the right arrow key's function is completely removed, it only launches the calculator app and does not move the cursor or anything like that. I am baffled and can't make heads or tales of this. Any assistance would be very much appreciated!

macro setup on the keyboard?

I don't know how to record a macro on this keyboard, but I went ahead and wiped all macros, and factory reset the keyboard. Unfortunately, no luck.

I haven't been able to figure this out yet, so if anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Try a clean boot and see if it changes anything - make sure to read instructions and make sure NOT to disable any microsoft services or windows won't load right - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

if clean boot fixes it, it shows its likely a startup program. You should, over a number of startups. restart the programs you stopped to isolate the one that is to blame.

if it still happens, can you try safe mode and see if it happens there?

1. go to settings/update & security/recovery
2. under advanced startup, click restart now button
3. this restarts PC in a blue menu
4. choose troubleshoot
5. choose advanced
6. choose startup options
7. click the restart button
8. choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
9. Pc will restart and load safe mode
