    Hi callan smith,

    I understand how disruptive this can be, especially when the shortcuts interrupt your game.

    The key combination you mentioned does not appear to be a single Windows command. Instead, it may be triggering two separate Microsoft Edge shortcuts:

    • Ctrl + Shift + S opens Web Capture in Microsoft Edge.
    • Ctrl + Shift + A opens the Search tabs menu.

    If Microsoft Edge is still running in the background while you are playing, try the following:

    • Open Microsoft Edge and select Settings and more (...) > Settings > System and performance.
    • Turn off Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed.
    • Close Microsoft Edge completely.
    • Open Task Manager and check whether any Microsoft Edge processes are still running. If so, select them and choose End task.
    • Launch the game again and test the keys separately to see whether the pop-ups still appear.

    If the issue continues after Edge is fully closed, the shortcuts may instead be coming from a browser extension, the game launcher, an in-game overlay or keyboard/mouse software. In that case, please let me know which launcher you use for Dead by Daylight and, if possible, share a screenshot of the pop-ups with any personal information hidden. Thank you so much for your understanding.
