  1. Windows 10 Unwanted Shortcut Keys


    Hi everyone, I'm having an issue which is really confusing. I was playing a video game (Overwatch), it is a shooting game, so I need to use WASD to play. As I was playing, my laptop repeatedly exit to the desktop as if I pressed the Windows Logo Key which I did not. I got really frustrated so I had to exit the game. Here is the issue:


    My W key now has the same function as the Windows Logo Key (it opens the Start Menu everytime I press W), and my S key is now functioning as right-click (exactly like the SHIFT + F10 shortcut). I restarted the laptop, and nothing was fixed.


    I have no idea how it happened, and as you may have guessed it is quite a challenge to even type this question for you guys because a lot of S and W are used. I googled this issue but it seems like a rare problem and I haven't found the solution yet. Please help me out.


    Edit: I just found out that the Capslock key is now also the play and pause for music players.

    :)

    Windows 10 shortcut key not working - Please help

    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to create a shortcut key for a program/script that turns off my monitor. I've confirmed that the small program is working by double clicking on it. The problem I'm having is that when I go to create a shortcut key for it. First I create a shortcut to the program, then I set a shortcut key, say "ctrl-shift-s". After applying the changes, clicking Ok, I try to use the shortcut by pressing the ctrl-shift-s key combination. When I do this, nothing happens. I've confirmed that shortcut keys works with other apps like the Command Prompt. Does anyone have any insight to this?

    Cheers,

    grecinos

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

    Windows 10 Unwanted Shortcut Keys

    Windows 10 commands/shortcuts/env. var.

    Keyboard shortcuts to open programs:

    Create a shortcut on the desktop to whatever program you want. Right click -> Properties and fill in the field there. Sadly the shortcut needs to remain on the desktop, but you can hide it.

    Fun fact: If you had keyboard shortcuts for programs pinned to your Windows 7 start menu, those shortcuts still work when you update to Windows 10.
