    How to restore my "Windows key + R" function?


    Hello all,I wanted to play games without the taskbar appear every time I used my mouse, so I looked it up online and I got several responses. One of the methods was using "Windows key + R" and typing "cmp" or "cmb" I forgot which it was but I did that and a textbox of a black screen appeared with typewriter font. Then I was instructed to type "kill taskbar" and "Explorer" and "f" with some slashes and other things but I don't remember the details. Anyway, I pressed enter and it deleted my taskbar and my entire desktop with it and now I can't access anything but the last application I opened wh

  3. Excel does not open, F7 function key won't activate airplane mode and System restore can't open

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    How are you trying to open System Restore? Do you receive any error?

    I suggest you to update all the drivers for your computer model and check if
    function key activates airplane mode.

    I suggest you to open System restore from run command and check:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type ‘rstrui.exe’ and press Enter
    For issues with Excel 2013 I suggest you to post in Office forums:

    Redirecting

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

  4. How to restore my "Windows key + R" function?

    Problems with the "Restore" function in Windows 10 on my machine.

    Since you've forgotten the password, we suggest that you enable the hidden admin account. To do this, kindly follow these steps:

    • Press Windows + R and type "cmd".
    • Enter this command: net user administrator /active:yes.
    • Log out and see if there's an option to log in as an Administrator.
    • You can now try to restore your computer to its previous state in the
      Administrator
      profile.

    If you have further concerns, feel free to post.
