I frequently just hit the enter key twice on accident (because i mistype the password then have to hit enter again to clear it and make another attempt, and im doing it quickly).
But Why is Edge opening up?

Yes, I could try to just hit it once instead, or not use the start menu to put my computer to sleep. But this is just my personal usage case that may not apply to you, but still dont understand why its doing this.

To replicate:
1) open start menu and press lock from the start menu. You have to do it from start menu so that start menu is open when you log back in.
2) type password
3) Hit Enter, Enter (fast)

I see my desktop now but edge browser opens up. But if you just open the start menu and hit enter key, nothing happens. Its only when your coming from the lock screen.

open start menu and press lock from the start menu.

I normally just hold down the Windows key then press L to lock the computer.

I tried what you wrote but pressing enter twice on the lock screen just showed my password hint.

Even when you type the password into the field box and hit enter, and enter again? Because the first enter should automatically register it as correct password and log you in

Well I'm not actually just locking it, I'm doing a sleep. So I put it into sleep and then when it wakes up it's on that lock screen so I always do that sleep function from the start menu
