Windows 10: Windows key / taskbar thumbnails etc. Issues

Hi I've been struggling with these issues bout 20 days and this is whats going on.

When I press the windows key on my keyboard (corsair k70 vengance rgb) nothing happens but I also notice that at the same time the thumbnails of the programs I have currently opened disappear quickly and by the time I can click them the program doesn't come up, also alt+tab isnt working either . I've done like 8 clean installations and nothing seems to improve, aditinally normal video files flickers when this comes, it tends to vanish and everything works normally till it happens again. Right now I don't have enything but drivers installed. I'm using: Intel i7 4790, 2 8gb Kingston hyperx fury, nvidia gtx970, segate n wdc hard drives, corsair k70 rgb vengance, corsair m65 rgb.

I've also tried installing the os in different HD but nothing, even went back to w7 and I get the exact same problem.

I'd be much appreciated if u need further info pls tell me.

edit: here is a quick video of the problem

Windows 10 Auto-hide Taskbar and Thumbnails NOT Disappearing

I see many posts, here and elsewhere, complaining that taskbar thumbnails are not visible, disappear too quickly, or how to disable the thumbnails altogether. My problem is on the other side of the fence: For some reason, my taskbar and thumbnails recently
started staying visible, even when I am working on another task in another window.

For instance, suppose I am in a browser, and mouse to the bottom of the display, which causes the taskbar to appear. When I hover the mouse over the Outlook taskbar icon, the Outlook taskbar thumbnail appears. However, when I return to the browser window,
and operate there, the taskbar and Outlook thumbnail remain visible.

Is there a setting somewhere that governs this behavior?

 

Windows 10 Photo Previewing Issue

So I recently found an issue where Windows 10 finally recognised me as the built in administrator and refused to let me view things in Windows Edge or photos, etc. Today I managed to fix that by using one of the fixes provided, and now I face the issue that
Microsoft Edge doesn't show up as an option on my taskbar, just a blank space instead of it's icon, and the photos I have, gifs, jpegs, etc, all show themselves as blank sheet icons, and I can't see the thumbnail.

I've checked that the "view icon never thumbnail" option is unchecked, which it is, and there appears to be no other issue, however I'd really like to be able to see the thumbnails again and be able to see the Microsoft Edge icon again in my taskbar. I've
had to put the admin account into approval mode in order for all of this to work, and I'm a little frustrated about just how broken the system is being right now, so any help would be great thanks.

Regards,

Erin.

 

quick follow up, i noticed that, when i want to see the thumbnails of the apps i have running i need to click in the taskbar something you dont really have to do, its working ATM im uploading a video so you can see what i mean, also the win key works, if i use win+r or win+d it works.

Is the software for the keyboard installed? Perhaps you should double check any macros or other features that may be saved in the keyboards memory?

I know on my Logitech G510 there is was a switch the disabled the WinKeys. It broke and I had to solder over the switch leads to get my WinKeys working again.

I know your WinKeys are working, but perhaps there is something about your keyboard that is modifying the behavior slightly?
