I don't know what happened but my windows key suddenly stooped working . When i went into registry and checked the UpperFilters and it had two classes 'ETD' and 'kbdclass'.After watching a youtube video that said to remove any words or sentences except 'kbdclass' and restart ,i followed the same ,yet the windows key is not working. What to do now?

    The solution may depend on your keyboard, try each of the following keyboard shortcuts one at a time to see if the Windows kwey is working correctly.

    Fn + A

    Fn + S

    Fn + Spacebar for 3 seconds

    Tap the Windows key twice

    2

    If none of those work for you:

    Open Device Manager

    Expand the Keyboards section

    Right click your keyboard and choose 'Uninstall'

    Then restart (not shut down) your PC
