  1. Windows key not mapped properly


    My windows key does not open the start menu, instead it seems to be linked to my media player or something as when I press it, it pauses/stops whatever YouTube video I have playing. I've tried the keyboard troubleshooter but nothing came up, anyone know what's going on?

    :)

    Windows 10 function keys not working properly

    Hi Brianna,

    I suggest you to Uninstall and Reinstall the Keyboard Drivers and see if it helps.

    Step 1: Uninstall the Keyboard Drivers

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
    • Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
    • Search for the Keyboard from the device list, right click on it and then select “Uninstall”. On the un-installation window, if you have an option: “Delete the driver software for this device” you may select that and then remove
      the corrupted drivers from the computer.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete it and then restart the computer if prompted.
    After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

    Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:

    Step 2: Go to the Computer manufacturer’s website and search for the latest Windows 10 drivers available for the Keyboard and then install it by following the instructions given in the website.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.
