  1. Windows key and some trackpad shortcuts not working


    So, my windows key laptop stopped functioning at all without any reason, it does not even work on a keyboard test. I tried many things; uninstalling the drivers, disabling gaming mode, updating the drivers, even sfc /scannow and it still doesn't work. Also some trackpad shortcuts don't work for me, but that bothers me less. It just annoys me so much, can anybody please help?Also I don't want to wipe anything off my system. I even tested it on a vm.it is an asus tuf gaming 15 laptop

    :)

    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

    trackpad not working

    No. Because the troubleshooting guide on device manager wont even resolve my solution as it is also a basic and one of the primary steps to do but no avail. Tried installing powerplan7 and trackpad++ suggested by relentless on apple forums but with
    no success for me. Until now i can't use windows 10 installed on my macbook pro 15inch late 2008 because of the trackpad/touchpad failure.
