Pressing the Windows key automatically opens Edge in Windows 11.
Hello, I'd like to figure out why clicking the left mouse button or the Windows key automatically opens Edge browser. I need to understand this because I frequently use it.

Check with official Microsoft Powertoys tool which keys are currently mapped:

Once installed, go to Keyboard manager > "Remap a key" / "Remap a shortcut" to see a list of all currently active custom key mappings.
Some mouse or keyboard customization tools (like Logitech Gaming Software, Razer Synapse, or others) can assign custom actions to buttons or keys. Open any software related to your mouse or keyboard and check for assigned shortcuts or macros that might open Edge.
