Windows 10: Windows key stopped working after latest update

Hi, the Windows key has stopped working after I installed the latest update. I tried putting the laptop in lock screen Win + L as I always do before leaving, but this time I couldn't because of the Win key. I tried online keyboard test, all keys worked except Windows key. I uninstalled the updates, but that did not work. Reinstalled them and it still doesn't work. I also performed sfc scan twice, which found errors initially but did not fix the Win problem. System: Windows 11 Pro, HP Omen 16, 16 GB DDR5 ram, Ryzen 7 6800h

Hyphen key, and Alt code sporadically stop working.

Hi Rogue,



We would appreciate for the troubleshooting steps that you have tried.

• 
  Have you installed the latest keyboard driver from the computer manufacturer’s website?
  

I suggest you to use the on-screen keyboard and check if the same issue persists:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys together.
  
• 
  Type “osk” and hit enter.
  

Hope this information helps.



Thank you.

 

Left Control Key Stopped Working After Windows Update

Hi - I am facing an issue for the past few days after updating Windows 10(auto-update). Left Control key in Notebook keypad stopped working after the update and I have tried many steps suggested in various forums. None has worked so far, so hoping for some
help here. Below are the steps I have already tried:

1. Update Keyboard Driver

2. Uninstall keyboard driver

3. Complete any pending Windows update

4. Make English US the default language & remove others.

All these were suggested in various forums which have worked for others but none of these have solved the issue for me.
