    Maybe the keyboard is going bad. Does it work every time using the onscreen keyboard?

    Go to Start and type on-screen into the field named Search programs and files.

    I'm not convinced of that just yet, but we will move on.

    There are ways for software to "absorb" certain keystrokes. You can try this procedure...

    ...to see if you can locate any software that is absorbing the winkey+L combo.
