    Shortcuts and modifier keys not working properly since new update


    I recently updated my computer to the latest windows update. Since then, after opening any applications, mainly games, my shortcuts and modifier keys stop working. The shortcuts I am talking about are Alt+Tab, Windows keys for local searching, Windows+R, Windows+I, Windows+Tab, etc. The only ones that do work are Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Windows+L. I have restarted my computer many times, troubleshooted my keyboard and software. There are no problems the computer can find. I searched through all my programs and their corresponding settings to make sure nothing is affecting my settings or devices.

    Shortcuts and modifier keys not working properly since new update

    I recently updated my computer to the latest windows update. Since then, after opening any applications, mainly games, my shortcuts and modifier keys stop working. The shortcuts I am talking about are Alt+Tab, Windows keys (for local searching), Windows+R, Windows+I, Windows+Tab, etc. The only ones that do work are Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Windows+L. I have restarted my computer many times, troubleshooted my keyboard and software. There are no problems the computer can find. I searched through all my programs and their corresponding settings to make sure nothing is affecting my settings or devices. Nothing has changed since the most recent update. I even spoke with support and had someone remote control my computer to see if there was anything they could do. All they did was update 2 drivers and restart my computer. Restarting the computer only fixes this problem temporarily, that is until I start opening my programs.

    Windows 10 shortcut key not working - Please help

    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to create a shortcut key for a program/script that turns off my monitor. I've confirmed that the small program is working by double clicking on it. The problem I'm having is that when I go to create a shortcut key for it. First I create a shortcut to the program, then I set a shortcut key, say "ctrl-shift-s". After applying the changes, clicking Ok, I try to use the shortcut by pressing the ctrl-shift-s key combination. When I do this, nothing happens. I've confirmed that shortcut keys works with other apps like the Command Prompt. Does anyone have any insight to this?

    Cheers,

    grecinos

    Modify Shortcuts

    Is there any way to modify shortcuts on WM6 to add a program switch. ex. "sample.exe -d" with sample.exe being the program and -d being the switch.



    Not sure if this is possible, but if there are any suggestions, please let me know.
