Cheat Engine

Kevin Rudd P.M.

I've noticed that once or twice a day, my computer goes into "window key lock" mode, so any key I press automatically activates the shortcut for that key. e.g, If i press R, it automatically starts 'Run'.

I've found a way to fix it when it happens but it takes about 1 minute and it's getting annoying and time-wasting. Does anyone know if there's a way to disable this key lock (not the windowkey shortcuts, just the lock mode), i've been looking in the registry and searching the net but didn't find anything.

Thanks to anyone that replies. Smile

Download this file, Run As Administrator.
Then Windows will not "sense" the windows key, therefore if it's the actual keyboard then problems fixed, if it's software, problems fixed too....

But if Windows doesn't sense it what happens when I want to press it to access the start menu or do another command?
