So the windows key on my keyboard for some reason just stopped working which is a pain. ctrl+esc still opens the menu. But I'd like the shortcut back.
- I have checked the regedt32 - currentcontrolset etc and have no scanmap file in there so I know I never turned it off.
Thanks in advance.
I think your best bet is to try another keyboard if you have one.
If the problem disappears that suggests you have a suspect key on the original keyboard.
If the problem doesn't go away you can assume it's a Windows problem.
Is there any dirt on the keyboard and have you checked whether the Windows key sticks?
Failing that, you could try a system restore to a point in time before the problem occurred.
You don't by any chance have a media keyboard that has a windows button disabling feature?
On my keyboard if I enable "cyborg mode" by touching the cyborg logo, all windows related keys stop working, so you can't accidentally exit full screen applications like games.
