Windows 10 2004 occasionally get a stuck keydown state on the CTRL-WIN keys

Open bpluly opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

In Windows 10 2004 I occasionally get a stuck keydown state on the CTRL-WIN keys. Every key generates not the regular action+WIN but some combination which generally looks like a minimise all windows and then initiate the action. So pressing 's' minimises all windows on that desktop then Save As...

The CTRL-WIN-n switch to different desktops still works but you have to restart Windows to clear the state. I guess unless I write something to inspect and clear the state :-).

I haven't figured out a repeatable scenario so far. I do switch desktops a lot and between the same 2 or 3 continuously when I'm in the middle of a test repeat kind of workflow.

Windows 2004 release is a constant, I didn't have this before. But I also bought a new keyboard around the same time, a SteelSeries Apex Pro. The laptop itself has a SteelSeries laptop and shares the same engine and drivers.

Sorry for your troubles. I'll look into this. Instead of restarting you might be able to correct the issue by bring up login screen. Another thing that might work is to disable and re-enable the keyboard hook in zVD settings.

Good suggestions both.

Login screen does fix it.

I can confirm I also get this behavior.
