  1. Some keys letters, numbers, space stop registering in Windows apps.


    Hello,


    I looked around and didn't see anyone else comment on this issue, but forgive me if it's already been discussed.


    Sometimes in Windows System apps, letter and number keys will not input. This includes: settings, the search bar on the taskbar, sticky notes, the file explorer, the Xbox app, feedback, etc. It doesn't include my browser Chromium-based Brave and other non-system apps such as Eclipse. It also doesn't include some Windows-produced apps, such as Word. It's clearly not a hardware issue -- I'm able to type fine in some apps, but not in others. Additionally, I'd like to stress that this only affects the letter and number keys -- the only keys which are affected are "1234567890" "qwertyuiop" "asdfghjkl" "zxcvbnm" and the space bar. Symbols, such as `-=[]\;',./ all type fine. Keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl-V don't work, but Windows-V works fine.


    I can force this issue to resolve by logging out or restarting, but that's a pain and I don't like doing it. Sometimes, it resolves itself on its own. I've reported this in Feedback, and I'm posting it here as well.


    My system is a Lenovo Thinkpad P1 20MD running OS build 19559.1000

    :)

    apps in windows 10 do not display with the windows key

    The Windows Store cache may get damaged due to corruption. You can try to re-register the Windows Store apps to resolve this. To do that, follow these steps:

    • Press Windows Key + Q, type powershell and select
      Windows PowerShell from the results, right-click on it and choose Run as administrator.
    • Type following command and hit Enter.

      Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    • Once the command is successfully executed, you can close Windows PowerShell and reboot the machine.
    In case the issue still persists, run the System File Checker tool to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. To run it:

    • Right-click (or press and hold) the Start button, then select
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Enter sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/").

    Let us know how it goes after performing the suggested troubleshooting steps.

  4. Some keys letters, numbers, space stop registering in Windows apps.

    Go straight to All apps letters?


    So when you click All apps, you get an alphabetical list. If you have more than two programs installed, scrolling through it becomes cumbersome.

    A friend from the Insider program mentioned clicking on the title letters in the list, which wasn't at all obvious, and that produces a list of all the title letters, and enables you to jump to the letter of interest... if you know it [1]. But it takes three clicks to get to the list... Start / All Apps / A (or whatever).

    Is there any way to reduce the number of clicks to get to that title letters index?

    Or am I better off to install Classic Start Menu, once it is working for Windows 10?
