When I press WinKey+R to bring up the run-command, it started not working all the time. I don't recall if it's been there since I've installed Windows 10 or appeared after, but I would like it if I didn't have to install it all over again.
I don't use a wireless keyboard.
Tests I've done:
- WinKey+D (or L, A, X, K, M, Q) works fine all the time, as does the WinKey itself to open the Start Menu.
- When I'm in Chrome browser (for example) and I scroll a page, it's enough for WinKey+R to be ignored. I have to change focus to another window (e.g., to Command Prompt) and only then can I press (WinKey+R) twice to open the Run dialog. (But it's not consistent when I have to do this – it might work first try!)
- WinKey+X followed by WinKey+R, for example, doesn't yield any result.
- If I click the taskbar (the one that used to contain the 'Start' button) and press WinKey+R, it works!
I was thinking that it could be due to some program catching the key-combination, but I can't seem to find any (did scans with S&D, AVG, Ad-Aware).
Any ideas what it might be or how I can debug this?
WinKey + R
has not changed. If it isn't working for you then something is unique about your system. Use AutoRuns to disable pretty much everything that automatically loads when you log into your profile to determine if its software that is doing it.
