Play/Pause button on keyboard

Hello,

Since my last Windows 10 Update on the 11th of April the function Play/Pause button on my keyboard has changed. Before the update, it used to only play or pause the music being played on Windows Media Player or MPC-HC and had no effect whatsoever on Youtube
or Facebook videos being played in the Internet browser. Since the update, YT and FB video even have the priority, i.e. the Play/Pause button only effects the videos when there any open and only plays/pauses music in WMP or MPC HC when there are no videos
open in browser. Is there a way to get stuff the way they were before update?

Thanks in advance,

Sari

 

Media buttons not working (play pause skip ...) Spotify


Hi




First off: My drivers are up to date as from August 15, 2015 and it didn't solve anything.




The problem:

My media buttons (the ones on my keyboard {picture below} of my Razer keyboard and my HP Spectre x360 Laptop) don't skip, pause or play a song in Spotify anymore. To explain more clearly I made a video about it on YouTube where I illustrate the issue. I read about disabling Windows media player sharing network service in system configuration but as soon as I'm out of that window or close the system configuration window then the media buttons don't work (regardless of the fact that the Win Media play sharing netw. is on or off (after pressing apply). It's all illustrated in the video though, so if it's not clear what I mean check out the video.




Hope someone has a solution to this!

 

Windows key is acting as a play/pause button

I did not upgrade to Windows 2004 (I'm using Windows 1909 right now), but resetting it did the trick. Maybe downgrading it to 1909 could fix the issue. Temporarily, this can be fixed by using some remapper software like SharpKeys. The key that is being
wrongly pressed by Windows while trying to use Winkey is E0_22 (Media: Play/Pause), you can remap it to Special: Left Windows (E0_5B), though it will disable the pause buttons on your keyboard and the other windows special key (the right one). Hope to be of
any help.
