  1. Why wont my windows key work?


    I know it for sure is not an issue with my keyboard as for if i click windows plus or minus in chrome it will zoom / unzoom. But if i try to click windows key for anything else for example xbox gamebar windows g nbothing happens or windows r, windows shift s to take a screen snip, or even windows key all by itself nothing happens. I dont understand why this is happening ive watched countless videos. ive turned off sticky keys updated my keyboard drivers. I dont know what else to do please help.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.



    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Are you getting any error message? If yes, what is the error message?

    I would suggest you to run the inbuilt windows app troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows Key +X.
    • Click Control Panel.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • On the left pane, click on View All.
    • Click on Windows Store app to run the troubleshooter and follow the on-screen instructions.
    If the issue persist, I suggest you to reset Windows Store cache abd check. Follow the steps:

    • Press Windows Key+ R.
    • Type wsreset.exe and hit
      Enter
      .


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help
