Windows key gets "stuck"

Windows is hot garbage. It's very good at some things, don't get me wrong, my video games 99.99% of the time just work.

But MAN, some thinigs are so garbage.

My Windows key regularly gets "stuck" where Windows THINKS that I'm holding it down when I'm not.

I couldn't open links in my browser a few minutes ago because of this. I had to right click & open in new tab.

Then I went to make a post, typed a letter, and crazy shit starts happening. Ope. I know this one. It thinks I'm holding down the windows key again.

So I press it, release it, and close the file explorer I opened with some winkey combination I wasn't holding.

Oh and for some reason my taskbar icons disappear all the time? Like they're there, they're clickable, but they're invisible. Can't see 'em.

And lastly, my goddamn start menu. I wanna open a program, so I open the start menu, and NOTHING LOADS. There's no icons. My search results don't pull anything up. It's just THINKING THINKING.

It'll still launch the app if I have the name right though, so that's good at least.

I should probably try a fresh install at some point. But I fucking hate dealing with that shit.
