I can confirm that the problem still persists.
Not only using chrome but with every other software in my screen, the "GKey" will open shortcuts on background.
I'm using the latest win10 version, i have trhe same problem on 3 different pc.
a 10 minutes search on google showed me that this is a common problem with the iCUE software.
This happens ONLY with iCUE: no issues with Logitech (Gaming software), Razer (Synapse) or Microsoft (intellitype) software.
Btw the solutions is pretty simple, just create .bat files to recall your desiderd software, then let icue launch the .bat file, for example for notepad++:
@ECHO Off
start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"
exit
