    The game box game bar is causing issue with my capitalization of shift P and M. Every time I press the shift P to get a capital letter, it shifts to the game bar. It is aggravating.

    Shift Key Not Working For Only The p Key

    If you press the Caps Lock key and then type p does that produce a capital P?

    Win p key pressed

    It's a shame you didn't press WIN+P a third time... it would have got your extended displays back again.

    For future info:

    WIN+P (x 1): PC screen only
    WIN+P (x 2): Duplicate from primary display to secondary display/monitor/projector
    WIN+P (x 3): Extend display to multiple monitors
    WIN+P (x 4): Second screen only
    WIN+P (x 5): Begin display cycle again, i.e. PC screen only...

    Hope this helps...

    Why does the game bar pop up every time I press the shift P key to get a capital P.

    Win p key pressed

    Just a thought. Did you try pressing "Win p" again?
    Sometimes a key acts like an "on off" switch.
    If that doesn't work I'm sorry I can't help.

  4. -0[P keys not working from time to time unless another key is pressed.

Spamming them would make them work for a while, but after a bit they would go back to not working, unless it's pressed with another key in rapid succession eg. Fn+p or shift+p, or even...
