[SOLVED] Windows notification keeps popping up ?

[ssal]

This occurs to my friend's Windows 10 desktop machine.

About a month ago, the Notification panel on the left would come in and out randomly and repeatedly. When this occurs, the notification becomes the active panel so when you were typing in your other application, like entering a url link, it would be interrupted.

I went into System>Notification and turned off everything. But it is still happening?

Is this a virus issue, or Windows issue, and how do I fix it?

Sounds like a virus to me. Try booting in safe mode and do a virus scan.

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.

I did some more testing. It turned out to be an defective keyboard.
