    When I press W "Whiteboard" comes up


    I've had this issue repeatedly now for a while. I know the problem isn't in the keyboard as I changed it and had the same issue. Also this only happens when I'm playing GTA5. I'm confused. Does anybody know what this could be caused by and how I can fix it?

  2. w and windows key only brings whiteboard and full screen snip menu

    whenever I am trying to type 'w' anywhere, it only brings whiteboard and full screen snip menu.

    whenever I am trying to press 'windows' button only, it only brings whiteboard and full screen snip menu and doesn't bring start menu.

    though 'windows' button in combination with R or E, works fine (run or windows explorer)

    All the 'w' in this question are typed using on screen keyboard only.

    Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
