Input language switch with Super+Spacebar stopped showing the language list window after some update

Hi, here is the information requested:

Edition: Windows 10 Home Single Language

Version: 1709

OS Build: 16299.19

--------------------

I have done some tests. First, I tested it on another PC with Windows 10, and it has the same problem. Not mine PC, and it has almost no third party software.

And I think I have found a more reproducible way to see the problem.

On a fresh start the language list works OK. But starts to fail after you open a file explorer window.

So the steps to reproduce it:

• Start windows, logon, but do nothing more.
• Hold down Super key and press (keydown + keyup) the spacebar, ensure that the language list has appeared and then release the Super key, ensure that the language in the taskbar changed in this moment. Do this about 15 to 20 times to ensure that the behavior
  is consistent. It should be at this time.
• Open a File Explorer window. You can leave it opened or close it or minimize, it doesnt matters.
• Repeat the step 2. You should see some % of fails now. Some times the list will not appear and the language will change on spacebar keydown. It appears to be random, but testing it 15-20 times you should see some cases.

 

Disable Spacebar to Sign In with Windows Hello

Hi Paulo

Thanks for helping out here with this issue.
I did try the steps listed on the site you suggested. No luck, unfortunately.

The Logitech Brio can log in w Windwos Hello. But, the spacebar is still an issue. The built-in camera has the below issue FYI

Note: UPDATE troubleshooting

I have tried to isolate the issue and just use the built-in HP camera. Now I get "Couldn't turn on camera. Please sign-in with your PIN"

I have also tried ALL of these steps as well. And Biometrics is enabled on the device and allows users to log-in using Biomtrics

Fix- Windows Hello couldn’t turn camera ON problem in Windows 10 / 11 (thegeekpage.com)

I'm wondering if we can fix the missing camera issue if that would fix the first issue with the spacebar. Just a thought

 

Games Crashing When I Press Spacebar


Ever since I upgraded to Win10 my games have been crashing when I press Spacebar. I play D3 and LoL. Both of them I use spacebar a lot in so my games crash a lot. It doesn't happen every time, but the times it doesn't crash the screen kinda flickers (Not always, but maybe about 50% of the time). The games crash to desktop. Please help. Never had this problem before Win10.
