Hi @Ravimeena,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP PC is automatically opening Microsoft Edge and showing “How to get help in Windows 11” or opening multiple tabs/pages, this is usually caused by a Stuck Key, Malware, or a Startup script issue, or it could be related to a Corrupt Keyboard driver or an Accessibility issue.

Please try the steps below to help and solve the issue:

1. Check the F1 Key

  • Press the F1 key a few times to see if it’s physically stuck.
  • Try using an external keyboard to test if the issue persists.


2. Disable “Get Help” Shortcut

  • Open Registry Editor (Win + R, type regedit)
  • Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
  • Right-click > New > DWORD (32-bit) value
    Name it: NoWinKeys
    Set value to: 1
  • Restart your PC.

⚠️ Be cautious when editing the registry. Let me know if you'd like a step-by-step guide or script.


3. Check Startup Programs

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  • Go to the Startup tab and disable suspicious entries.


4. Run a Malware Scan

  • Use Windows Security or a trusted tool like Malwarebytes to scan your system.


5. Update or Reinstall Keyboard Drivers

  • Go to Device Manager > Keyboards
  • Right-click your keyboard > Uninstall device
  • Restart your PC to reinstall the driver automatically.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
