What do you mean by Start8 opening?

The menu opens, or one of the processes starts & stops visible in TaskManager? or something else?

I mean the start menu (Start8) will spam like some ones hitting the windows key on my keyboard.

Start11 - Customize the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 10/11.

That is most odd as it should only be triggered by button clicks or the Windows key being pressed.

Its only happened 3-4 times over the time I've used it so it may be triggered by some think, I use a G19 keyboard my windows key is always disabled.

Is your windows key disabled via a hardware button or through the software?  If it's software maybe it's botching up and sending the key press signal instead?  Sorry I can't remember if the G keyboards have hardware switches.
