    Hi ,

    Apparently, it could be a keyboard issue. If it's a laptop, the Ctrl key may be stuck inside, which is why this happens. It wouldn't be a Windows issue. If it's a desktop, replace the keyboard.

    You can try this procedure to disable the Ctrl key, but for Explorer.

    Give feedback if the information was useful or not.

    Thanks
