This started about two weeks ago playing a game fullscreen. The windows key stopped working as a shortcut to minimize the game and interact with a word doc on the desktop. I updated the system and the problem went away until 8 days later the problem came back. While troubleshooting, I noticed that after the windows key stopped, if I closed the game, it would still not work for a few seconds on the desktop. Same problem with a different game. If I minimize the game too often then windows key stops working all together even after the game is shut down. Restart fixes it for the desktop functioning but not in-game.
I turned off Logitech and G-hub on start up. Same problem. I swapped out keyboards. Same problem. I used this keyboard on my older rig and window key works in-game.
I reinstalled keyboard drivers. Filter keys are off. Win 11 game mode is off. Keyboard game mode toggle is off.
The computer is about 7 weeks old and has the same apps I had on my older system. Nothing exotic. HP software tests pass. SFC /verifyonly passes.
Today I used a restore point: Windows version after restore point: 21H2 (build 22000.918).
Still same problem in-game.
Weird.
thanks,
