    shortcut "win+z" does not work in windows 11


    I really love this feature of windows 11. Unfortunately the key combination "Windows key + z" does not work for me to bring down this when I am in a window. The only way it works is to hover my mouse over the maximize windows icon.I think some application is grabbing the "win + z" key but I can not find it. I tried to exit all the applications but still, I could not find the problem.It works fine on another PC that I have a fresh install of Windows 11. On the PC that it does not work, I have upgraded from 10 to 11.How can I find what program eats away this win+z key?I also tried toggling all t

    I didn't see on your list using Win-X to bring up the basic setup of system tools like the original control panel, easy access to device manager, etc. not technically a list of commands, but at least a shortcut *Smile shortcut "win+z" does not work in windows 11 :)

    shortcut "win+z" does not work in windows 11

    Ctrl+Z not working in any application Windows 10

    Ctrl+Z (undo) doesn't work in any application. I.E., doesn't work in ms paint, notepad, etc.

    I don't think it's a hardware issue because ctrl+c etc work, just ctrl+z doesn't work. Also, I was able to manually use Ctrl+Z as shortcuts in other applications. I tried making Ctrl+Z the shortcut for GeForce Experience Overlay and it worked fine.

    Any suggestions on how to find which application might be hijacking ctrl+z?

    Could it be a registry issue?

    Did this hotkey lose priority somehow?

    I tried starting in safe mode / clean boot and it didn't help.
