WIN 11 Keyboard problem when playing game!

Hi Hoang

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

In the game you are playing can you change the game keyboard shortcuts in the game settings, because W + Ctrl is a default keyboard shortcut used for a few functions like closing a tab in a browser or closing an application and that is probably causing the conflict.

FIXED! Windows 11 keyboard shortcuts make MSI keyboard shortcuts not working

Hello! I have a laptop MSI gf63 thin, by design I have some very very useful shortcuts to turn on the camera FN+F6 (the only way to do it), brightness arrows, volume arrows, the keyboard lights, etc.
Since I updated to Windows 11, the old shortcuts are not working anymore causing me a lot of issues. It's as if the Win11 keyboard shortcuts took over: but not all of them! the window key doesn't work at all so none of the shortcuts with it. The only ones that work are copy-cut-paste, and FN+left/right+.
I uninstalled the keyboard driver and updated but every time they start working again then they go back to the ones from windows 11.
I tried turning off-on the keyboard filter and playing with the settings and the drivers; troubleshoot cannot find any problem. I also noticed something odd: my left arrow stopped working, but only on Microsoft word.

Can someone help?

EDIT: FIXED! In MSI dragon center application there is a setting section to switch between windows and msi shortcuts, so that you can use both or only one.
