Depends on the type of wallet. If its a web wallet the keys are in the browsers data store that the wallet extension handles. The keys could also be on a separate hardware wallet that is completely separate from the computer you interact with and requires physical button presses on the hardware device. Could also be that you are in a view only mode and just connecting with an address and you don't even have the keys on you.
