Windows 10: Windows 11 Windows Key not working in Fullscreen games

Just recently got a new PC with Windows 11 installed on it. When playing on a fullscreen game I can not press the Windows key and get the Windows menu to appear. I know the problem is not related to the keyboard becauseI am using the keyboard I was using on Win 10, just 3 days ago, and it was working thenI have a spare keyboard that the problem persist withThe Windows key works when I'm not on the fullscreen game.I have turned off or turned on and back off all gaming mode settings that I can find. That is the game mode setting on Razer software the spare keyboard doesn't have its own software

Windows 10 KB3213986 Update Cripples Multi-monitor Gaming

This should be enough to get the conspiracy theorists suggesting that Microsoft is intentionally crippling multi-monitor support in fullscreen mode since games sold on the Microsoft Store all work in the pseudo-fullscreen mode...

Or it could just be an idiotic bug that will be fixed in time.

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

windows 10 key

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?
