Title sums it up fairly well. as far as i can replicate, it only happens when using OBS or if OBS is open for a long enough time, but more specifically, when i am recording and/or streaming to a platform of any kind. youtube, twitch, doesnt matter. what happens is, i will be playing a game, everything is normal. then suddenly, if its a fullscreen locked game, it will act as if the down button or scroller is being pressed or used wwhen nothing is actually happenening, infinitely. if its any other game, when it first happens, linkedin opens randomly in my browser along with the down button error. and if i try to press any button, literally any button including the power button, it will act as a hotkey to linkedin website. im not logged in to linkedin, its not installed on my pc, and i even installed windows powertoys and frequently update it, to make sure that my laptop cant ACCIDENTALLY open linkedin, even if all else failed. and yet somehow, something somewhere overrides everything and rebinds my all buttons to linkedin. and the only temporary fix (until i try recording/streaming using OBS most often), is hard restarting my laptop. (hold power key down til it turns off, but will also open linkedin before trying to shutdown). and when i open my browser, itll automatically restore the last used tabs, and there will be between 1 and 100 tabs of linkedin to close. i dont know if this is directly related to OBS, if its a virus, conflicting software, maybe i am just an idiot. ive tried damn near everything on the internet i have found, short of sending it in to Dell, and i dont want to do that if i dont need to yet, especially with this particular of a scenario. the only reason i dont fully know if its related to OBS is because it happened a few times on one specific voice call when i was on discord, but never before or since. but i was using my camera and streaming my screen, and it hasnt done that before or since. and so far, it hasnt done it since i uninstalled OBS so its another reason i think they might be correllated. does anyone have any insight to this? its affecting my channels and productivity and my laptop in general, any help is greatly appreciated!! it seems as if im the only person on the entire internet with this issue and its really frustrating, been dealing with this for months! AGH :'D thank you in advance, friends for reading this and for any help!! <3 will not be able to include a logfile because i uninstalled OBS and am afraid to install it again tbh!
