  1. How to stop keyboard from highlighting games?


    So my keyboard has been making the asterisk sound for windows everytime i press a key and i foundf out why but have no clue on how to fix it. if a press a letter that one of my games start with it will highlight it. For example for Fortnite if i press F on my key it will highlight it but if i press a key like W a letter none of my games start with then it makes the sound. Please someone help i cant play games or use my pc at all its to annoying.

    I usually mention it in the penultimate page, but sure that can be emphasized further. The only Corsair keyboard with hardware playback is the K95 Platinum, and the others rely on CUE being open for the extended features.
