    Play/Pause and stop media keys not working

    Hi everyone,

    So I've got a weird problem, and I haven't found anyone else with the same issue.

    For some reason the play/pause and stop media keys on my keyboard (K55) aren't working. If I test it on keyboardchecker.com it says MediaPlayPause and MediaStop, so the keys itself do work. I've tried it with both Spotify and VLC, and it they not do anything. Other keys like previous track, next track and volume controls work fine. It's just the play/pause and stop keys that don't work. Nothing happens.

    Anybody got any clue as to what's going wrong here?

    My mind is entirely blow. I had this issue. Media Previous/Next and everything else worked for me. Media Play/Pause did not work. Holding Windows key and pressing Media Play/Pause worked fine (very surprising). Turns out closing 3cx desktop app (the electron one) fixed it. Even after reopening 3cx the issue hasn't come back. I assume it'll come back after receiving a call (mentioned by @KyleNabors ). I'm going to try using the PWA for 3cx instead of the electron app.

    Play/Pause and stop media keys not working

    Just wanted to reply and say I have been having the same issues for a few weeks now. My play pause media key stopped working, but volume controls and forward/back song buttons all work. Could it be a windows update that caused this issue?. According to a different Thread i was reading Microsoft answers pause not working It could be an issue with discord if you have discord installed. Playing some media with discord is breaking the play pause button. You need to restart discord to fix it
