  1. Computer not registering a key combination.


    I use ctrl to sprint in Minecraft while holding space and w. But today that wasn't working. Like the combination of ctrl+w+space isn't registering. I know it's not a keyboard problem cause I've been using that combination on it for at least a year. Yesterday, I ran a script called always on top.ahk which used the ctrl+space combination. I think the problem is related to that. How do I fix it?

    :)

    Key combinations not working

    Thanks for following up. In here, you can find the list of all the keyboard shortcuts in Windows 10. Check it out and
    see which key combinations are still working on Windows 10, and which are not.

    We also tested on our end and only the Alt + F and Alt + P are working fine, and this is on a PC that is on the Fall Creators Update. May we suggest that you update your operating system to 1709 and see if the key combinations will work.

    We'll keep an eye out to your response.

    Computer not registering a key combination.

    Problem with a combine taskbar icons.

    Hello,

    In Windows 10, you can personalize the settings of your taskbar. If there are multiple applications opened, same applications will be combined under one taskbar button. If you want to change this setting, we suggest that you follow the steps listed below:

    • Press the Start button.
    • Click on the Settings app.
    • Select Personalization.
    • At the left side of your window, click on Taskbar.
    • Under Combine taskbar buttons, choose Never.

    Kindly update us with the results and if you have further queries, feel free to post back.
