Custom Fields Duplicating Themselves (Not using a plugin to create them)

My problem is this… When I direct WordPress to create a custom field, via either the built-in post edit screen or via a custom post edit screen, they don’t initially show when the “Add Custom Field” button is clicked. Additionally, when I refresh the post edit screen, the custom fields appear in the “Custom Fields” box and at least two or more duplicate fields of the same name and values appear. I have no plugins installed and have reinstalled WordPress in an attempt to resolve the issue. All of my attempts to fix the issue have been unsuccessful and I have been unable to locate a thread that addresses the same issues I am having.

The theme I am working with is completely custom and aside from a walker class for bootstrap navigation, I am not using any theme frameworks that may have code that would interfere with WordPress. Below is my functions.php file for reference just in case something I have coded is the issue.

Please keep in mind that this theme is in development and being built using XAMPP and VSCode on my local system.

Any help would be appreciated.
