The results I have seen from SFC are far from optimistic, but I suppose for the 10 seconds it will take to get it started, it might be worth a shot.
Take no insult if you already know this, but better too much info than too little...
The command is sfc /scannow from the command prompt.
Well, the problem came back today, but I have an idea. It might be my audio card drivers, so I'm going to see if I can cause it sooner.

Hi, I had a similar problem and while the last post is fairly old I thought I'd just post my solution in case it also could help you.
With me if i press tab now it tabs out of the text box, if i click alt the menu at the top appears, but if i press alt+tab nothing happens, and same if i press the windows-key.
OK this happened after i started kingpin (old game i bought via gog.com)
after i closed the game (and also while the game is running) i could no longer alt tab, turns out its because a program is started called gogwrap.exe it probably blocks windows tabbing and the windows menu because it can make the game unstable and crash. so far i havn't found a solution to make it close the program again (will contact gog in a moment) but closing the program with the process manager (task manager) fixed it for me. Hope this helps =)
Try restarting the Human Interface Device Access service.
Hi, I've had this problem occasionally, and found a solution so I thought I'd post it. I run the Apache Service Monitor for running Apache locally, and if you open the interface and leave the window open, it causes this behaviour (windows key and alt+tab not working). Close the window and it starts working again. Note that you don't need to close the application, just the Apache Service Monitor window.
It seems likely that there are other applications that cause this same problem, so check to see whether you've got any random windows open from badly-written apps that might be causing the problem.
I had the same problem with the Apache Monitor, very annoying. Thanks!
Ironically, this problem has come back for me. I have absolutely no idea why it is happening, and it happens every single time my computer is on for more than an hour. Driving me up the f***ing wall, let me tell you.
