    When playing games the hot keys are active

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to disable Hot Keys and check if that helps.


    • Right click anywhere on your desktop screen and select Graphics Options.

    • Navigate to Hot Keys and then click on Disable.

    • Check if issue persists.

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
