Hi all,
I've tested Chrome, Firefox, and Edge on Windows 11. Yesterday the last answers worked immediately after booting but within minutes, when I searched, the results might appear but the screen would go back or to the search page—not the actual results. Sometimes pressing the forward arrow helps reach the search results, suggesting a 'back' action is triggered during search.

I ran malware scans with Malwarebytes and Bitdefender, both showing a clean system. I updated Windows and disabled all browser extensions. On another machine, searching hasn't helped much. The issue seems to persist even after uninstalling Firefox and Chrome and clearing caches. I think it might be related to Windows 11 rather than the browsers, since I have problems with three different ones. Also, direct URLs seem to work fine, but using the search box causes everything to reset. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Great suggestion! I tried uninstalling the keyboard driver, restarting, and it's functioning properly now!

had a comparable issue with my Lenovo Tile after a Windows update. The USB hidden driver became unstable, causing the keyboard to repeatedly trigger 9 or numlock. Although numlock isn’t available on this model, other hidden drivers have provided some relief so far. I’m unsure if Windows will cause further problems soon.
