Hello,

I have quite an annoying issue..

My Windows key does not work for shortcuts like (Windows + R or Windows + E) etc..
However, it works fine on its own; it opens the start menu without a problem..

Does not work:
Windows + R
Windows + E
Windows + Pause

Works:
Windows + L
Windows + X
Windows + P

I have already tried quite a few things:

fn + f6
Restarting :p
sfc /scannow
AdwCleaner

As a network admin, it’s quite bothersome ;p
I’d prefer not to reinstall the OS...

If you have any ideas... Thanks in advance

    Well, after a lot of tinkering :p I think I’ve found a solution, at least it worked for me:

    -> Open regedit
    -> Expand: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
    -> Export the keys (right click to export): "Keyboard Layout" and "Keyboard Layouts"
    -> Delete the keys: "Keyboard Layout" and "Keyboard Layouts"
    -> Restart

    Here the Windows + R keys work, but the keyboard is in Qwerty

    -> Right click on the exported keys, then merge (for both)
    -> Restart once more.

    And normally it's good, at least for me :p
