  1. Win + W shortcut doesn't work anymore


    Every time, I used to press Win + W, select Snip & Sketch and begin drawing on my screen capture, but now, for some reason, this shortcut doesn't work. If I press Win + W, the pop-up doesn't appear anymore, my Windows Explorer freezes I can't open the Start menu, Settings, Action Center, use Ctrl + Tab, shortcut Win + Tab and it only works again if I go in the Task Manager and restart it.


    Can someone help me? At the moment I've tried to reset the Snip & Sketch app but it didn't work.

    :)

  2. Windows key+Home shortcut doesn´t work anymore - How to restore?

    Background:

    I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro (1909) on my HP Z440 Workstation and did notice that Win+Home don´t work anym****0 Home (1909) to test if it has been removed from 1909 but Win+Home do work on my laptop. My lapt****.

    So, i decided to d****909) on my HP Workstation. Then i tested to open Edge at fullscreen and then launch Notepad and Win+Home does not work this time either. The expected result would have been that since Notepad was the active window a Win+Home should
    have minimized Edge. This test was done directly after the install, so no other third party apps had been installed.

    According to this list updated on Jan 8 2020 Win+Home should work: Keyboard shortcuts in Windows

    Question:

    How do i get Win+Home back?

    I have used it a lot during the years and miss it...

    Misc.

    • I have tested another keyboard t****n+H**** other keyboard shortcuts work as expected, such as Win+X, Win+E, Win+R, Win+D, Win+D, Win+M, etc, etc.

    Computer: HP Z440 Workstation

    OS: Windows 10 Pro, 1909, 18363.592

    Keyboard Settings: Swedish

    Keyboard:
    Logitech G512

    Win + W shortcut doesn't work anymore

    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:
