• How to disable the left Alt key as the taskbar pop-ups when you try to play the game then press the left Alt key

  Original title: left disabling Alt Taskbar pop-up Menu window

  Hello

  I have problems with the taskbar. Every time I tap my left Alt key twice, then left Alt + (1-6) a context menu appears. It's the same thing as right click a tab on your taskbar for anyone who is struggling to recreate my problem. Right Alt does not cause this problem.

  It is very bad news for me as the focus of changes in context menu of what I do. I play video games in my free time and have game left keybinds for Alt + 1,2 & 3. I will support on these keybinds quickly all while playing. This will cause the context menu for taskbar activate and I'll be tabbed out of my game.

  I searched for weeks trying to solve this problem and I have not found any that is worked. I tried to disable the jump lists. I tried to change the registry for a right click on the taskbar. I saw patches of this forum and several others and nothing I found works.

  Recently, I contacted Microsoft to the it Department by phone and said they knew exactly how to fix this and if I have to pay $50 to one of their technicians have to connect to my computer that they would have this problem corrected in the blink of an eye. I find this limit extortion honestly and I hope someone had this problem and can provide steps on fixing it.

  Thank you

  Thank you for your answer, but the answer you provided is for a question that is different from what I was living. Your link has solved a problem with someone who has the taskbar pop up when their mouse/cursor passes over. My problem was to have a drop down of the taskbar appear whenever I type left Alt + 1/2/3/4 etc.

  However, I have since fixed. If there is anyone else out there with this problem, it's a hardware problem with my keyboard. I couldn't get anyone to recreate my problem by pressing left Alt + 1, etc. (although you can recreate my problem to click with the right button on a program in the task bar), so I reset my left Alt key. After resetting my left Alt key this problem does occur more (yay)

  Thank you

• Equium L20-197 - left go 'ALT' key in the file menu bar

  Hi I hope someone can help me with this.

  Recently, I noticed that my laptop started to go to the file menu bar when I press the left alt key (I must say of immediately that the laptop do not before tonight and my laptop GFs - which is the same make & model as mine and has exactly the same set top-do NOT go in the bar file menu when you press the left alt key and as mine comes from) start doing this I guess I managed to activate a setting keyboard shortcut somehow).

  I know that by pressing the default Alt allows the file menu bar in windows, but I would be interested to hear if someone else does NOT have this active keyboard shortcut.

  I used an emulator and mapped the keys ctrl and alt, but I'm not 100% sure what combination of keys I pressed on, the emulator has since been uninstalled and the shortcut is always enabled.

  I was wondering if anyone here has a list of shortcuts keyboard/Fn keys to turn this function on or off or is there already a thread on this? I searched the Forum but have not found anything. Thus, all advice / pointing that I have the right direction on this issue would be much appreciated.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello!

  Normally if you press the left ALT key you always go to the file menu bar. I checked this on my two laptops Toshiba and it s always the same.
  For as far as I know it's not possible to turn off this feature of s and I n t understand why you want to disable. If you n t like it, don t press the ALT key. ;)

  On the Wikipedia site are some interesting information about this key:

  Good bye

• Alt key decreases the brightness of the screen how to turn it off?

  Hi all

  I own a Lenovo T440S, it works on windows 8. So today, I accidentally spilled tea on the keyboard, but it seems to work very well. He should at least given that this laptop is designed to support it.

  Everything seems to work very well, but my left alt key now decreases the brightness of the screen every time I click on it.

  Can someone tell me how I can stop this? It's so embarrassing to have the brightness down whenever I use it.

  Hi Bianca,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  According to the description of your problem, if this behavior has started to occur after you had spilled tea on the keyboard, then it might be a hardware problem with the specific key. The brightness options are provided with the "fn" in Lenovo thinkpad.

  I suggest you begin the diagnostic system in the Web site of the manufacturer for this model only. and check if it helps.

  ThinkPad T440S Support

  If the problem persists, then I suggest you to contact Lenovo's Thinkpad technical support for assistance.

• Left SHIFT key of the T40 reveals context/right click menu?

  Hello all-

  On my T40, on which I recently got properly installed, Windows 7 has a curious behavior:

  When I press the left SHIFT key, it works the same as if I had pressed the right button of the mouse.  It works otherwise, I.e., then its use to capitolize a letter in an e-mail, the letter is capitolized, but as soon as I let go of the SHIFT key, the context right click menu will then appear.

  It's extremely annoying, because I can't continue typing until I sailed out of the menu.

  I checked to see if the keyboard customiser utility is the cause, I have currently my left Alt key works as a button of Windows, but it does not ask this question.

  Anyone have an idea how I could go about fixing of this?

  Thanks in advance,

  G

  Too bad.

  Had the customizer of keyboard configured to use the time left as the key to the application key.  Duh.

  Hey,.

  Are you sure you entered the correct key of WLAN security? Maybe you typed wrong then you should check it again.

  Otherwise, you can try to update the WLAN driver. New driver WLAN, you can download from the Toshiba WLAN Portal:

  Hi misterDormie,

  This problem may occur if the permissions to a specific key in the Windows registry has been denied because the registry is corrupted or due to registry permissions

  I suggest you try the following steps:

• CHANGE of SIZE of the BRUSH WITH CTRL and alt KEYS

  Hi all

  I'm on the road with my new macbook, and I have a problem with setting up my wacom pen.

  At home I use an iMac with CS5 and to change the brush size, I press alt and CTRL key and move the pen left/tight up/down to size of chang and hardnes of the brush. I find it very convenient!

  On my new Macbook, I have CC and I don't have the ability to use this easy key combination, I was loking autour and some google, but I have found the place to get the same settings on my macbook.

  Is there anyone who can help me?

  Thank you very much.

  When you hold down Option/Alt + Control and left mouse click and drag anything happens?

  (the button on the pen is set to left click?)

  The Option/Alt key should always be the second key to the left of the SPACEBAR

  The control key must always be the third key to the left of the SPACEBAR

• In Lightroom 4 when I press on and hold down the ALT key, I can't move the slider black and white

  In Lightroom 4 when I hold down the ALT key, I can't move to the black or white and it does not show the clipping. Essentially, I am now the ALT key and the sliders will not move. I'm doing something wrong? Thank you.

  There was a problem with the integration of my mouse. All fixed.

• Why all my keyboard shortcuts use the 'Alt' key instead of the ' CTRL '? I use Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

  I recently downloaded Firefox 5 and noticed that all my keyboard shortcuts by default using the 'Alt' key instead of the 'Ctrl' key (so, for example, open a new tab is Alt + T instead of Ctrl + T).

  I noticed that this applies even to copy and paste in Firefox (Alt + C and Alt + P is the only commands that work).

  No idea why this is happening? I am running Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1.

  I had this problem. I found that a roaming profile directory has been installed which contained a user.js file in which changed the hotkey of CTRL ALT.
  I deleted the profile folder a name randomly in c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles and then I stuck to that of c:/Users / [myuser] / AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles.

  This bad user.js file was some other parameters, including the definition of the user agent string
  "Mozilla/5.0 (X 11;" U; Linux i686; en-US; RV:1.0.0; (Salut, maman) gecko/20020604 "

  The user.js file is (or similar to) those listed here: https://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html

• Hard drive failed and I lost my product key?

  Hi guys,.
  
  So my friends hard drive failed and unfortunetly he lost everything.
  
  I replaced the broken hard drive for him and reinstalled Windows 10. However when I went to check if the OS has been activated, it showed as not been activated? I thought the machines after that Windows 8 had their licance saved in the BIOS, so we do not have this problem?
  
  Also there is no sticker on the back or under the battery that contains the product key for Windows.
  
  I also talked to Microsoft, but they were uable to help.
  
  Any help is appreciated!
  
  Thank you.

  It's a HP Pavilion 15-p264na. It came with Windows preinstalled as an OEM licance Home 8.1. It was then upgraded to Windows 10 at a later date using the free update successfully.

  Then the second option mentioned above. Didn't it actually triggered successfully after 10 win upgraded?

  If so, you should be able to activate just fine without problems, IF you use the same edition of Windows. You write it housed 8.1 - you now install Win 10 Home? You mentioned 10 Pro down...

  So I guess I'll with your third option and using the recovery media?
  
  I have 2 HP drives here for Windows 10 Pro for two different HP devices. I think these are the recovery CD, it says that they cotain the client software, if that is correct? Can I use these discs Pro on a BONE at home? Or that I'd be better by following the links you provided?

  Laughing out loud. I'm sorry. I am afraid that you cannot mix just DVD / CD / etc - they are for a specific model for the specific version of Win / edition. You cannot use a recovery media for HP computer to another - it will simply not work 99% of the time. You cannot mix editions of Windows (the House is for Home, Pro goes to Pro).  You want the recovery media for this unit, you need to follow the links.

  However, IF you have enabled the upgrade of Windows 10 post fine, you can simply download Win 10 ISO from here:

  > > https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

  Download the tool, it will download an ISO and burn it to a DVD or write on a USB key. Follow the on-screen instructions, skip entered the key and move on. After installation, Windows 10 HOME should activate fine using digital entitlement if 8.1 Home Win allowed initially.

  I would like to know how this goes for you.
