    Windows logo key start key stops working randomly WIN 11 24H2


    Here is the thing.Randomly the start key would stop functioning, and will only work when I press fn+start, and then works normally for few seconds, only to stop working again for some time, and then start working again and the cycle repeats.I tried factory resetting the laptop, but same issue is still present.Surprisingly when start key does not work, start+L, and start+I etc shortcuts still work somehow

    Why O'h why is the Win LOGO KEY refered to as the Start Key?

    Why O'h why is the Win LOGO KEY refered to as the Start Key?

    The picture on the key itself looks exactly like the Start Button, hence the closest thing that this key looks like it should refer to is the Start Button, since the Start Button has that same logo. It's a Windows key, and the Start Button is the initial location for you to start opening "windows" (aka: programs) in your computer.

    Random Keys Stop working and start working.

    my "five and six" keys along with my cntrl key stop working randomly. When one starts working again, they all start working again. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my keyboard drivers. I have windows 11. Not sure how to proceed.

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
