Hi all, I am having an issue with my windows logo key not working. I have done many searches and have yielded nothing that would be a solution. I don't know if there is a turn on/off or if a known program disables it or not.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

There is no switch for it that I know of. I would suspect that it is either a defective keyboard or driver. What are you using?

I am using a Logitech G11 keyboard, didn't have any problems with anything until my shortly after my win7 upgrade (when I noticed).


Edit: I just switched to an old keyboard...after a couple reboots it started working, so I am guessing it's like you said. Used a microsoft keyboard and it worked...maybe it's just MS wanting all proprietary products to be used...lol.
