    What can I do if my keayboard's windows key doesn't work after I removed it to clean?


    I wanted to clean my keyboard before my new semester starts. I removed the keys and their b-clips carefully as instructed. Wiped them down, as well as the base. I used an airpump to get any dust out, and i put the keys back. That was yesterday, but this morning when I was typing a document I used the emoji shortcut which is windows key+period, but it didn't work. I pressed the windows key alone to make the start menu pop up, but it didn't. I tried the solution from the internet, where I need to install any optional updates and troubleshooting or whatever, but they didn't work. I'm looking for

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Thanks for your answer, ken!
    I deleted all my data. I had have it backed up.

    I did a clean installation using the windows media creation tool (usb option).

    No, I didn`t. I thought a clean installation would solve the problem.

    After posting my previous message, I did it.

    After chkdsk, I close cmd and tried to boot and the laptop just turned it off. This morning I`ve restarted it and automatically windows did a repair. Windows has booted and it seems that the repair tool has removed chrome and acrobat pdf reader (the only two programs I had installed after reinstalling windows).

    Now Windows is installing updates and restarting my lapop, I`m kind of frightened. I don`t want it to happen again. Anyhow, I want to know what has brought the issue

    I`ve been looking for information about the error code at the end of the picture and I didn`t get anywhere.
