Hi,
When this happens to me, I just smack both Windows keys a couple times
and the problem goes away.
I'm using a Microsoft wired keyboard.

I got tired of this happening, so I disabled the App Get app and I use
the Install Packages app instead. Whenever I want to type into an
edit box on IE, it happened quite often. Since I have stopped the App
Get app, I have not had the problem. By the way, the problem did not
happen all of the time, but it would happen enough to be
frustrating,and I would never know when it was going to. Sometimes,
closing out WE would help, but more often than not, I would need to
restart my computer.
As an aside, I like the Install Packages app better because I do not
have to guess at categories for the app I would like to install. They
are all listed alphabetically in a list for easy choosing. This would
be a great option for the App Get app, if anyone would like to
consider making this an option.

Grant,
John mentioned you might have a bad keyboard, because the hotkey
combination of windows+g starts the appGet app running (which is what
is happening to you, but you aren't pressing the windows key right?)

*Subject:* get apps question
For several months now I have been experiencing a problem when I
start my PC fir thing in the morning. The problem is: whenever I hit
the letter g on my keyboard I get a popup screen that says "get
apps". I cancel the screen and the next time I hit the letter g it
comes back. This happens repeatedly.
Questions:
1. Why is this happening?
2. Have I pick up a virous of some sort?
3. Could this be a part of WindowEyes updates or some other program
or problem?
4. How do I determine the source of this "get apps"?
5. How might I get rid of it or turn it off?
Grandpa DOS will be forever grateful for a solution to this issue!
