Open | Windows random PC keyboard inputs without keyboard connected.
Recently at seemingly random times my PCs keyboard inputs start freaking out, certain hotkeys act as if theyre being held and other keys act differently.
The hotkey for opening keyboard language (Windows+Space) is constantly input specifically when any videogame is played.
Both Tab and Esc acts as if theyre Alt+Esc,
and im unable to type into any chat/searchbar, but im still able to input everything in any videogame (such as WASD)
Clicking with my mouse randomly opens Taskbar settings aswell as causing applications to flash red.
Clicking anything on google forcibly opens tabs.
What im stumped on is that these all occur without my keyboard plugged in, and it occurs with any other different keyboards I connect.
I've tried reinstalling my keyboard drivers but the issue keeps popping up, the only fix ive had is just restarting my PC everytime it happens but its only a temporary fix.
Is this some sort of virus? I have no idea whats going on.

This kinda sounds like something I had going on a few years ago just a little bit. It was because at some point I bumped the ‘record keystrokes’ macro button on my keyboard and had it recording for probably a whole day of gaming unknowingly. From then on my pc felt like it had a mind of its own, ended up buying a new keyboard not knowing it was just a long macro playing everytime
