Computer wizzes of the O/T....I need help (f1 keeps being pushed)

I can basically only use mozilla right now. My computer keeps detecting a F1 (i think) keystroke. I thought it was my old keyboard because the computer kept opening help and support tabs on everything I would have open (word 2016, chrome, when just desktop was up it would open windows help in chrome). I bought a new keyboard and am having the same problem. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling chrome, I restart my computer to get the updates going, and I ran a few virus scans.

I've googled this and I have only found info on a F1 start up problem that sent the computer in to BIOS.

How do I fix this?

Edit: the problem is intermittent but when it happens I can't hardly use the computer. I'm guessing it's the f1 keystroke since that does the same thing when I hit it.

edit: these are the links being opened from either the desktop or chrome

does my computer have aids?

edit: problem is not with keyboard. it still does this with keyboard unplugged.
