    Yet another absolutely weird and out of ordinary issue. I have noticed that when I am playing an older game, for example Tomb Raider The Last Revelation or Gothic 1, and press WIN key, then afterwards Windows think this key is pressed all the time.This sounds like not a big of a deal at all, but hear this scenario:1. I am using Xbox Game Capture to check FPS and record stuff.2. So for example I open a game like Tomb Raider the Last Revelation, it goes to fullscreen mode there is either windowed or fullscreen, no borderless.3. Then I click on WIN+G to open the overlay. I pin FPS overlay to se

    All FullScreen Games, Get lag spikes on Pressing the alt Key


    Hello, So i am having an issues here.
    Every Game i play in fullscreen ,GTA V,Bf4 Dota 2,CSGO, Skyrim and all other game Lag on pressing Alt,
    I go from 60fps to 45 each time i press it,
    The thing is if i play in Windowed Borderless everything is fine, it was doing the same thing with my previous video card gtx 770 and now i have 980,but it's was not doing it on Windows 7, I use alt most of the time to speak online via Ventrilo or Teamspeak3,
    Yes i try to change my teamspeak key to something else or try my game without any voip and i still get the lag,

    it is weird and i really need to find why it does that.
    any idea?

    My setup is
    CPU. FX 8350
    MB, Sabertooth v2.0
    Memory 16GB G.skill
    GTX 980
    PSU 750 TX
    WIN 10 pro 64bit

  3. Unable to Tab out of Fullscreen Games


    Hello,

    When I had Windows 7 I was able to press the Windows key to tab out of Fullscreen Games and Applications. With Windows 10 I am unable to tab out of Fullscreen Games and Applications. Is there a setting or something that I am missing? I have tried everything, Please Help.

    Thanks,
    Peter

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
