    Why does my windows key only work until I open a game?


    I have tried many things, game mode is off, both on the computer and on the keyboard. I have a logitech g213 if that's relevant. It works fine on any application, but it automatically stops working when I open a game. The games I have tried are Minecraft and Valorant.

    Audio drivers not working in windows 10(z170 gaming pro)

    Hi Mandeep,

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    • What do you mean when you say "front jack is not working getting noise in that?"
    • Can you hear sound through earphones or external Speakers?

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    • Open Device Manager (Windows key + letter 'X').
    • Click on the option View over the top and choose Show Hidden Devices.
    • Expand "Sound, Video and Game Controllers."
    • Delete the drivers that are greyed out.
    • Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

    Hope this helps.

    Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

    I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...
