Windows 11 Task View opens every time I click anything, including opening or closing images

Open | Software

I’m on a Windows 11 desktop PC and Task View keeps opening constantly.

It happens when I click on things, open or close images, drag windows, or sometimes just interact with programs normally. My windows suddenly shrink and Task View appears.

I am not intentionally pressing Win + Tab.

Things I have already checked:

  • Task View is turned off in Taskbar Settings
  • I only have Desktop 1 open
  • I am not intentionally using any virtual desktop shortcuts
  • This happens across different programs, not just one app

I also recorded a video showing exactly what happens and can attach it directly to the post.

What could cause Windows to trigger Task View from normal mouse clicks, and how can I stop it?

Windows version: Windows 11
PC type: Desktop
Keyboard: Wooting 60HE
Mouse: Logitech G Pro X Superlight
