Windows 10: Hot Keys

I'm using Windows 10 and playing games using a Microsoft controller. When using a controller I only have three keys on the controller that I don't need, that I can use as Hot Keys. I need more keys to use as Hot Keys. Since the keyboard is turned off when I'm using a controller, that is the only other option I have. Is there any way to turn the keyboard on when using a controller? Is there a different driver that would take care of this?

Hot keys

Hi,

I am Ganesh Gandhi, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

If you want to disable 'Hot keys related to Display" in Windows 10,

Kindly follow these steps.

1. Right click on desktop

2. If you see Graphics Options, you can 'disable' Hot keys in sub menu itself.

3. If you see Graphics properties, in Options and Support, you can 'disable' Hot keys.

If Hot keys (Shortcut keys) are in Multimedia keyboard, you can use software associated with it, you can enable or disable the hot keys from the keyboard itself.

Do let me know if you require any further help on this. Will be glad to help you.
