Keyboard windows key not working properly

I am not able to navigate to start screen with regular windows key press. I need to press hard to navigate to the start screen. But other functions with windows key is working properly. For Eg: Windows Key + R is working properly with regular press. Please help.

Hello:
I do not know of a setting that would do that - especially intermittently.
I would suspect the KB is failing/has failed.

  • Wireless Keyboard Delete Key not working properly

    Recently, my wireless keyboard's delete key has been malfunctioning. Instead of erasing right to left, it deletes left to right. This is without pressing other buttons such as the fn key. Also, the left and right keys do not move the cursor properly such as in the address bar. They only move the page up and down. It works normally right at start up and after I restart the computer but after a few minutes it goes back. Is there a problem with my settings or the keyboard itself? Thank you for your help!

  • Windows 7 Brightness and Function key not Working Properly

    i have HP 15-af024AU APU Quad Core A8-7410 - (4 GB DDR3,1 TB HDD) Noteboook and it  came with windows 8.1 preinstalled than i installed windows 7 ultimate.
    i have problem in Display Brightness i am not able to change Brightness by function key or by manually from windows settings.
    2. my Function key are not working properly . all key are fliped whiout holding function key it work as function key. 3. bluetooth is not working when i search for new device not able to find any available discouable bluetooth device. 4. wireless button software is not wokring in windows 7 i already updated my bios that available in drivers support and install alll drivers too properly so please give proper drivers for windows 7 for this product that works perfect.

    Sorry that driver didn't work. You can try this graphics driver and if that doesn't work, unfortunately, I won't be able to help you with that issue. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp71253.exe As far as the Fn keys being 'flipped,' I have no idea what you mean by that, or what to do about it. Did you install the software that controls the funtion keys? This package contains the HP System Event Utility, which enables special function keys on supported notebook models to be programmed. For example, HP System Event Utility enables users to press the Fn+ESC keys to view system information. This software works with the supported operating systems. File name: sp71156.exe

    hi bharath666,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Were you able to install all the drivers and Software After the New installation of Win 8.1?
       Get the drivers here
     http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-...
    Start with the Chipset installation first then whatever comes next.
    Make sure you select the proper version for your Windows type and version.

  • Satellite L850 - Special function key not working properly

    Hi Everyone,
    I had Satellite L850 (pskg8a-07f001) running windows 8 64 bite for just 2 months.
    Just within this week, the special function key not working, each time I start the pc, i have to go into toshiba desktop assist then function key then click ok, it will working.
    But the touch pad has been set as enabled, also under keyboard setting has been set as special function mode. But don't know why each time start the pc have to go into function key box then click ok.
    When I bought it everything is ok, i can use the special function key to turn up and down the volume and disable wireless...etc
    Please advise. Thks a lot!

    Take a look here:
    Function key changes in Satellite and Qosmio 800 series
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2903E00000R01.htm
    You can use the traditional FN + F key mode or just an F key mode.
    This can be enabled and disabled in BIOS or the HWSetup
    In BIOS go to Advanced -> System configuration -> Function key mode
    This mode can be changed
    Also be sure that Function Button option is enabled too

  • Keyboard: some keys not working

    Some keys not working.  Need help/suggestions.  Not great with computers so PLEASE give details/steps re: how to do what you suggest - thanks!
    Details: intel based iMac running snow leopard 10.6.8.  Apple wireless/bluetooth keyboard (came with the iMac).
    Some keys suddenly stopped working:  space, tab, capLock, option key to the right of space bar (one on the left works), down arrow
    The problem happens in various programs (safari, pages, etc)
    The keyboard is fine on another iMac
    A different keyboard is fine on this/the involved iMac
    (nutshell: keyboard works fine - computer works fine, unless they're together)
    Here's what's been tried/checked:
    -checked the settings for universal access ("mouse keys" are off) and checked for any bluetooth keyboard shortcuts.
    -in system preferences "speech" is not set for "speak selected text when the key is pressed" - this is not checked/selected
    -tried creating a new user but had the same issue so it's computer-wide rather than just a user account
    -removed the keyboard and reconnected (using the +/- signs and "disconnect" and putting in a new code of numbers to pair keyboard)
    -language/text is set for english
    -did the keyboard viewer and the keys in question did NOT highlight when pressed (but don't forget the entire keyboard is fine on a different computer so thekeys aren't the issue)
    -"slow keys" is turned off re: keyboard in system preferences.
    Any help is welcomed.  It's frustrating knowing the keyboard works, just not with this computer.  Please help.  Many thanks!

    yes - not sure how this works...if you can see my original post there are a lot of details in there.  If you can't...
    nutshell: the keyboard works on a different iMac
                 a different keyboard works on this/the involved iMac
                 I tried to create a different user and the keyboard still does not work so it is computer-wide
                 I also removed the keyboard from the computer (using the +/- symbols and disconnecting and then repairing it.  The problem remained
    Thanks for any help.  It's crazy that the keyboard is fine and the computer is fine but together, there's the problem.
    Thank you!!!

  • Key not working properly

    I bought E-71 about one month back. I upgraded its software to 110.07.127. After this upgrade process, the keys are not working properly.
    For example, the key titled '?' is not printing '?' while another key titled '.' is printing '?'. This problem is for the whole keypad.
    FYI, my keypad also contains the Arabic letters. They are also not working after this upgrade.
    Software upgrade is done from the following link: http://www.nokia.co.in/A4767968
    Thanks a lot in advance for the kind support.

    This has happened because your phone was most likely imported and modified before it was sold you you. Updating the firmware has reset it back to it's default configuration

  • Keyboard window does not work.

    When recording a track using the Keyboard window, all notes clicked with the mouse are recorded just as very short notes. It's as if the mouse was always let up right away after clicking during recording. I'm having this problem with an eMac - there is no problem on other Macs I've tried.
    I cannot figure this out...thanks for helping...

    OK. I think I finally figured this out...
    The specific file I was using was "2-1 Eyewitness Starting" from the CD that comes with the Apple Training Series book "Garageband 2" by Mary Plummer, that is published by Peachpit Press.
    The problem exists in some of the files from this book (but not all). I'm wondering if these files are in some way corrupt, or possibly created in an earlier version (1.0?) and are not converted properly.
    Anyway, I have no problem with newly created files, so I'm satisfied.
    Thanks.

  • Keyboard wireless key not working after upgrading to windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I am having hp pavilion dv6-6165tx notebook, where keyboard having a wireless button that turns ON and OFF all wireless devices, After upgrading to windows 8.1, HP Connection Manager is not getting installed, as well as Key is not working, key color turns red and white but no action is performed.
    Kindly suggest me some solution.
    Note: HP Doesn't provide drivers for windows 8/8.1 ONLY WINDOWS 7 for hp pavilion dv6-6165tx.
    Thanks.

    Hi @Jayesh_Bhadja ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6165tx Notebook and the Wireless keyboard not working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the keyboard.
    The HP Connection Manager is something that is for Windows 7 not Windows 8.1. I would uninstall this from your Notebook.  Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating. It has a troubleshooting tool in this.
    Make sure all your updates have been completed. I would try restarting my Notebook a few times.
    If that does not help I would uninstall the keyboard from the Device manager.
    Thanks.

  • IPhone 4: Just updated to iOS7.  Keyboard on calendar not working properly.  When "keys" hit, nothing happens.  When repeatedly hit, many letters suddenly appear.  Impossible to add anything to calendar.

    Keyboard not working.  Upon pressing a "key" one letter appears, then everything freezes while one continues to hit keys, then suddenly many letters appear.  Impossible to add any event to calendar.

    Same problem: Letter keys no longer register letters but other functions like "end", "home", opening web browser, etc.
    I need to be sure that this problem does not occur during an exam.
    Possible solution: (1) Press "shift" five times. (2) Click on "Go to the Ease of Access Center...." (3) Uncheck the "Lock modifier keys when pressed twice in a row" under "Options." (4) Click "Apply." (5) Restart computer.
    Please let me know if the solution works. It's too early to tell in my case.
