  • Windows key doesnt work anymore

    Hi All

    well... in the begining i loved rewasd but acutally i just hate it...
    I have strange issues from time to time, the one which stresses me is that the windows key seems not to work anymore.
    I searched here in the forum and also with google but didnt find a solution for it.

    in the first week all was find and working as expected, but at one day the left windows key didnt work anymore.
    Can someone help me here?
    i try to kill all services and processes which are related to rewasd (1 service and 1 process) but this didnt solve the issue.

        Hello,

        Do you mean that your mouse is locked and L win doesn't turn it back? or doesn't L win work as a native input behavior?

            If the reWASD config is not applied (remap is off), our application should not affect your devices in any way.
            Even if the reWASD GUI is minimized or closed, but the config is applied, it may affect your devices.

            Remap can be disabled by emergency using the Ctrl+alt+delete command. If this doesn't unlock your L Win, then try uninstalling reWASD via Windows Apps & features and let us know if the button works after uninstalling.

              Hey there! I'm sorry to hear about your issue with the Windows key not working anymore. That can be really frustrating. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling rewasd to see if that helps? If not, you might want to try looking for a solution on Reddit. I've heard that there are some helpful threads on there with possible fixes for issues like this. You might also want to check out the Reddit thread with the Windows 10 product key - sometimes a fresh installation of the operating system can help resolve issues like this. Good luck and I hope you find a solution!​

                I had a similar issue with reWASD where my Windows key suddenly stopped working. It was frustrating, especially since it was fine at first. I tried killing related services and processes too, but no luck. From what I’ve seen on the operatingsystems.info forum, one thing that might help is checking if reWASD has any conflicting settings or updates. Sometimes, reinstalling the software or checking for updates fixes these issues. It might also be worth looking into whether any recent Windows updates have caused conflicts.

                    By any chance your keyboard has Fn key? ... certain keyboards have combination (eg Fn+F6) that disabled Win key
