The Windows button on the keyboard is not functioning properly.
The Windows button on the keyboard is not functioning properly.
Recently, my Windows key has been acting unpredictably. I've attempted various solutions without success. There are several other issues I've observed:
- On YouTube, certain elements fail to load properly, such as the logo in the top left corner.
- When viewing content from another channel, their videos don't appear at all, sometimes only after refreshing.
- My business tool causes my screen to split unevenly, making it harder to work. The scroll bar appears near the center rather than on the far right.
These problems seem unrelated but are happening together.

Keyboard: what is the model and make?
You mentioned scrolling issues—Mouse: make and model/scrollwheel?
Have you attempted to manually download the keyboard's drivers from the manufacturer’s site, reinstall them, and adjust settings? (Avoid third-party tools.)
Have you used a different functional keyboard and mouse (without Windows key issues) on your system?
Did you test your keyboard and mouse on another operational computer?
Check if the issue persists on the computer or is specific to the keyboard.
Goal is to identify the likely cause.
