This is usually a feature provided by your device manufacturer. Are you using an HP, Dell, or another brand?

2026-02-07T01:35:43.2533333+00:00 Thanks for your reply. For HP and Dell, it is caused by some utility system program. I can't find any for MSI, but do you remember downloading any apps to your computer recently? If so, try uninstalling them.
Or, perform a clean boot to check for interference causing the issue.
If the problem goes away after a clean boot, it suggests a conflict with a third-party program. Start by enabling the programs you disabled one by one to identify the culprit.
