Screenshots of the issue, if applicable: 

 

Any other relevant details:

The problem stops when highlight a certain windows update (KB4557968) from "installed updates" in the control panel. No malware detected by Win Defender, Avast and Kaspersky. P.s The update is from May '20 and there is no uninstall option for it. Uninstall fails even in recovery mode. Newer updates Didn't change the situation. I can post a video is necessary to explain the whole thing.

 

If it's a cloudflare error, what was the ray ID from the bottom of the error page?

Do you have any headsets or Bluetooth media stuff connected? Anything that can have a play/pause button.
Maybe reconnect after PC has booted, so it can reinitialize?

Negative on other devices. It's laptop. I use a external mouse and a key board through usb hub. Disconnecting these Doesn't change anything. I'm pretty sure my laptop keys arnt the cause of the issue because of the whole update thing that happens. Also I work a lot on documents, so I'd know if my keyboard is the issue here

Update**

The issue has been fixed. The problem persisted even after going Through a fresh windows boot. Afterward I kind of gave up. Then used CCleaners registry error checker and found a a registry error With (.flv) extension. After repairing this registry error the problem went away. Can't give any other details atp. leaving this here for anyone who gets desperate like i did
