    Several times a day I get the popup that is the same as when I press the winkey + S. It goes away if I move my sursor off the popup, but it very annoying. How do I stop this from happening?

    On my laptop it's when you tap the keypad with three fingers. I have to take care not to do as this as this new Lafite has a large and very sensitive keypad.

    Thanks but my touchpad is disabled so that is not the answer.

    I could try that, but wouldn't that just mean if I pressed the winkey + S, nothing would happen? In my case this occurs spontaneously without my pressing any key. It usually happens when I am just moving my cursor.

    Yes, if you disable it, it will no longer work.

    It would no longer work if I press winkey + S, but would it no longer occur spontaneously?

    You'll have to try and report back. I don't run Windows 10 and Windows 7 doesn't have the Win key +S so I have no way to test the issue.
