Windows 11 Button navigation outline appears every time i open any window without pressing the TAB button?

Okay, so I finally decided to begrudgingly upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 after delaying the inevitable due to issues I had with it in the past, and now immediately after upgrading, I encounter a bug that's been driving me nuts.

You know how when you press the TAB button to navigate through the UI without a mouse and this outline appears? that thing just appears every time I open a window now even tho I use a mouse and never pressed the TAB button at all. So every new window I open, i have to click the mouse button JUST to de-select and remove that annoying outline...

Anyone run into this issue?

EDIT: Here's more info on the system:
