As per title,

I installed windows 10 as soon as I got the laptop but the start menu has a mind of it's own, it has even windowed me out of a full screen game.

Anyone else have a problem?

Well no that you have upgraded you can clean install most likely will solve the issue. I f this is the only issue You also might want to install Classic Shell much better start menu and free.

I just looked at your thread, it doe's appear to be phantom Windows key presses. I have the JT model bought in the UK from Overclockers.co.uk

I was hoping it was a Windows 10 thing but if you have the same problem it's unlikely to be the cause.

@Clintlgm I do have chrome plus extentions

1. Adblock
2. Google play music
3. Netflix Ultrawide Support.

I have these extensions on my desktop running Windows 10 without any issues although the difference between my desktop and laptop is my desktop doesn't have a Windows Key (Ducky Shine 2 Tenkeyless)

I did have that same issue once. Do you use Chrome? Have a look at your Chrome extensions, and remove those you think could be malware.

My Task bar refreshes its self (reloads I think) And Some Times while gaming it minimizes my games (about once per game).
I have Chrome turned on while gaming for the most part. Could this be the issue?

Possibly, it happened while playing BF4 so chrome was open for battlelog, it happens often while browsing too

I've just made sure Chrome is default app and un-checked Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed.

So far so good but too early to be sure

Mine hasn't done it for ages now so it seems fixed, I had also removed the screen saver program so that could of been the cause.
