    Win Key Not working

    Suggests a possible hardware problem created by people opening up your laptop.

    Try this:
    Keyboard Tester
    or this:
    Test, Check If All Keyboard Keys are Working or Some Dont Work

    Note your specs say your laptop uses Win 8.1. There is a different forum supporting Windows 8 - eightforums.
