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