Windows 10 Start Menu randomly opens
- 
 I have this issue on both my home and work windows 10 laptops. The Start Menu just randomly pops open to the search/cortana part sometimes. I don't have Cortana enabled or signed in to a MS account.

 Can only say that I have never experienced that sorry.

 Me either. Did this just start happening recently?

 I google search shows shows a lot of people with the same issue. Hopefully I can find something to fix it in one of the threads.

 Are you running on an upgrade or a clean install? I've found a lot of problems with upgrade systems, even if the original install, Win 7 for example, was just a clean install that was upgraded, I still had several issues like this. But after confirming that the machine was authorized license wise, I reinstall from scratch has removed these problems.

 And I found it. happening to touch the trackpad with three fingers by default opens cortana, so it's easy to accidentally do. Disabled it in Alps trackad & Synpatics drivers on both and it stopped doing it.

Then I'm assuming you either purchased new licenses for those machines, or they came with Win 10?

 @Jason said: No. Don't be a dick. Everyone now knows that your responses here are complete bullshit because you either have to upgrade or have a valid license.

 You could have an upgrade + clean reinstall, but you have to either do that or have a new license.
