  1. HELP! ALT & Start keys have switched


    I just got the Logitech Mx keys keyboard. I connected using the unifying usb receiver and everything was working perfectly, but all of a sudden the alt and start keys have switched i.e. when I press alt it performs the start function and vice versa

    I’ve messed around with the language settings and uninstalled & reinstalled the drivers but nothings working.

    Can’t install the Logitech software because it’s a work laptop

    Any help would be appreciated, it’s driving me insane

  4. HELP! ALT & Start keys have switched

    ALT keys not working after developers update

    Hello Paul,

    To help us identify the cause of this problem, we would like to know the following information:

    • Which type of Windows device are you currently using? (PC, tablet or laptop)
    • If your device has 2 Alt button, does it happen on both Alt keys on the keyboard?
    • Since you're trying to input a special character using Alt key, have you checked if the Num Lock key is activated?
    In the meantime, we recommend that you check if Sticky Keys is turned on in the Accessibility settings. Sticky Keys lets you press one key at a time for keyboard shortcuts. To check, refer to the steps below:

    • Click on Start.
    • Click on the gear icon to open the Settings.
    • Click on Ease of Access.
    • On the left panel, click on Keyboard.
    • Turn off Sticky Keys.
