Win11 widgets automatically opens multiple log-in windows on hover-over.

The subject line pretty much says it all -don't even have to click the shortcut, it just starts opening logins. Sometimes there'll be up 20-30 login windows that have to be closed. Is this a bug or a feature and what can I do to stop it? Putting this in "Accounts, profiles and login" but seems like it would fit in "Performance and system failures" too.

    Closer inspection indicates it wasn't multiple logins, rather the same login window re-opening itself mulitple times when the close button was clicked; full spectrum of Win Def scans came up with nothing.

    Win11 22h2 update seems to have corrected the issue but now there's different problem with apps/documents returning "The specified user does not have a valid profile." warning when I try to open them. Beginning to wonder where this rabbit is going to run next.

    Addendum:

    Seems like second restart after 22h2 update has cleared everything up; thank you for your time and patience.

    Hi X,

    I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

    Yes, is true that Widgets feature automatically opens at mouse hover, but it should not open 20/30 Windows. Can you share a screenshot of those Windows for better understanding?
