For some reason whenever I pull up Task View using a touchpad gesture (4 finger swipe down - I have a Samsung laptop with Elantech software), it causes the Win key to become sticky (i.e. simply typing 'R' on my keyboard will open up the Run dialog). It resolves when I restart or lock the computer. No similar issue when I press the Task View button from the actual taskbar.

I recently updated to Windows 10, and reinstalled my touchpad drivers, but this problem has existed since I got the laptop.

Any ideas?

Windows 10 uses a generic trackpad for the Elan touchpad. To correct this follow these steps:

  1. Download the latest Elantech driver: http://www.station-drivers.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=353&func=download&id=1675&chk=d3edc55ebf64cf59602143405e88c3de&no_html=1
  2. Go to Device Manager and look for the touchpad
  3. Right Click Update Driver Software > Browse My computer ... > Let me pick from a list
  4. Unselect Show Incompatible Hardware
  5. Find ELAN or ETD and select the appropriate driver
  6. To ensure changes to the driver do not occur without your knowledge, open the Control Panel (right-click Start button and select Control Panel)
  7. Navigate to System and Security > System > Advanced system settings
  8. Click Hardware tab > Device Installation Settings and select No, let me choose what to do option
  9. Select Never install driver software from Windows Update
