  1. Pause Media Key not being recognized


    My Play/Pause key is not working, it's behavior is really weird. It works and then randomly stops working. And that won't change. Skip or Volume Up/Down are working fine though.The only "fix" that temporary helped was booting in safe mode and then back to normal mode. But that isn't a long time fix for me. Always rebooting the pc costs much time.The key is somehow working in a VM.My Windows: Windows 10 Pro 21H2 Build 19044.1466Luca
