    Hi,



    Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.


    • Since when are you facing this issue?

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: You may check if the ALT key is functioning correctly in on-screen keyboard. It will help us to verify if there is any issue with the keyboard.

  3. Keyboard shortcut Alt key not working

    I have no use of my hands so must use a mouthstick. With the Windows 10 keyboard shortcuts the Alt key will not work in many instances but will in others even though it's listed as working in all. It's also all over the board app to app. What I've found:
    Alt - F4 works as exit on most but not all apps, Alt - left and right for navigating forward and backward in any app do not, Alt - home doesn't work in any web browser, Alt - ctrl -del doesn't etc...

    I have 2 computers with the same problems. A Dell Precision M4800 laptop and a Dell OptiPlex 990 desktop. Is it Dell related?

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Steve

    ALT shortcuts not working Properly

    Alt f4 not working

    Can't use "alt+f4" shortcut.

    When i enter alt+f4, the pop up box says "The item KHATRA.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly"
