    Windows hotkeys no longer seem to work


    I used to be able to use my keyboard to navigate through files and folders, e.g if im browsing a folder and want to find a file that starts with A, i could press A on my keyboard, and windows would take me straight to the file. That doesn't seem to work anymore?

    :)

    • Click on Troubleshooting tab.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.

  3. Laptop hotkeys not working [windows10]

    I used this method and get solution for wifi keys problem on windows 10 on Me HCL laptop.

    I suggest you to try installing Hotkeys driver.

    Follow these steps after install the drivers check if that helps.

    • Download the keyboard drivers and hot fix (PHotkeys) driver from the manufacturer’s website.
    • Install driver on your system
    • Go to Path of installed driver Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘Troubleshoot comparability’.
    • On the ‘Test Compatibility settings for the program pop up windows’ open and click the box ‘Test the program’ Once this is done, check if the issue persists.
