Windows 8 button start not working not

I can't use the shortcuts using windows key + other keys because the windows key does not work, and I can not also turn the screen in the start menu for the same reason.

It was good before, but it happens suddenly.
I have not changed the settings or anything like that, and I have no idea why this is happening.

I don't know if you got this job and I do not know if you encountered the same problem as me, but for me it was due to the user and no software.  : P

My keyboard (Logitech G11) has a switch that I didn't know what he did, so I went back. Did not notice any change and quickly forgotten in this respect. Seems to be a kind of game mode, with the benefit of hindsight. I would recommend that you check if your keyboard has something similar and see if that solved the problem. Otherwise, it's too bad and good luck for your solution! I felt incredibly awkward using my computer when I couldn't use Start + D, Start + E or Start + 1 for example, then I really sympathize with your need to solve!  :)

  • Window control buttons does not work

    In each open window of the Min/Max/close buttons are broken. They appear, react to the mouse over, but are not min/max/close when you click on it. It is quite possible, I chose a weird option when messing around in the preferences, but it seems weird to leave in a menu.

    Shortcuts keyboard seem to work very well, but do a right-click on the title of the window in the bar of tasks leads to the open window, min/max/close not either.

    Help?

    It looks like maybe a whole lot of file system got corrupted (those that control windows functions) - and it's kind of logic because it would make sense that they are somehow in the same place.  I hope that SFC or chkdsk can repair corruption and fix the problem - otherwise we will have to do a re-install (but we'll wait and see what happens with the rest of the procedures before launch us the firearm).

    I'm sorry the system restore does not work - this is one of the best tools to deal with this type of problem (this is why I normally suggest it first).

    Good luck and thanks for the update.

  • mute dv4 1225dx windows 7 button does not work after restarting

    Hello world. I will try windows 7 on my pavilion laptop and everything works perfectly except the button mute who does not work (do not put on mute or turn red). I installed the driver sp45073 which is supposed to be the one to W7 64-bit. the curious thing is that it works perfectly once the computer restarts after the installation, but if I restart again, it stops working. If someone could help me that would be great. Thanks in advance,

    Well, I ended up reinstalling windows 7 64 and it works now. It seems that the problem was the installation of the drivers via windows update. I just installed those appearing on the hp Web page and there is no problem so far.

  • HP omni 10 windows menu button does not

    Hello world. Just bought hp omni 10 today. And everything works great. Execpt a little question, is that the physical windows (icon) in the tab start menu is not
    Work it vibrates when I press on it, but does not have the windows splash screen which he shud. What's wrong. Pls help.

    So, the problem is most likely being caused by a glitch rather than a hardware failure firmware or software. At this point, your self-service option only will out perform a "factory reset" to restore all the software to the State it would have had to be when you 1st Tablet unboxed. Well that takes about 1/2 hour, it works for most without supervision. Once the initial restore is complete, you can choose to interrupt updates download long enough to set up a user account and see if the capricious key problem has not changed. If fixed, then resume the installation of all remaining updates & retest button. If the problem persists after that, I suggest that you contact HP Technical Support; at that point, they will be probably unable to solve this problem by phone, but I think it will be useful to contact them quickly if the button is not yet answer correctly - and get a file assigned to the incident number. However, if they propose to exchange your tablet, it would be most likely replaced by a remanufactured - device that not an attactive option would consider your tablet is brand new. If all goes well, the location where you purchased your Omni has a relatively painless performance ~ political exchange that allows you to exchange your Omni to another. However, you may file this application number assigned by HP, to convince them to take you harder than a whiny typical...

    Sorry to hear that you are inconvenienced in this way. Please return to update your message with additional details or questions as the product of your adventure...

    Good luck!

  • Portege M200: Windows Security button does not work

    I can't get my Windows Security tablet button to work after reconstruction?

    Any help appreciated.

    Frank.

    Hello

    Reconstruction? Did you install the operating system again? And if yes then do you use the image of Toshiba?
    If this isn't the case, so I would recommend to install the operating system from the CD recovery Toshiba because on this CD, all Toshiba drivers and utilities are preinstalled.

    I think the button because doesn t work that you have just installed the drivers required or responsible tool.

  • ThinkVantage button start not working not?

    Hello

    Model - T400
    OS - Vista 32 bit.

    When I start my computer and tries to access the thinkvantage result page, I couldn't enter.
    I pressed the blue thinkvantage when the screen asked.
    but instead of entering the result screen, it goes into another menu.

    It seems three options... with a black background.  (which is different from the last time when I go to the page of result)

    Hmm - can someone help to solve my problem?
    all the solutions for helping me return to the rescue and recovery of back page?

    Thank you.

    No bother, I hope that your question will help others.

    If your system works well, and you have no reason to reinstall, you can consider using rescue and recovery or other options of third parties to create backups of your entire system something wicked should happen in the future. It would be also desirable to separate your important data backups.

  • Satellite Pro R850 - 143 Windows + Tab button does not work

    In Windows 7, there is a feature that when you combine the Windows key and the Tab key it will be spool through open programs in a sort of 'Apple' passage.

    I used to be able to do this with my old laptop running windows 7 but, why impossible with my nice new Toshiba?

    You need Aero (interface 3D) enabled for this feature, which requires the correct graphics driver. Do you have the factory pre-installed Windows installed?

  • Dell Precision M4700 (Windows 7 pro) starts not once configured with UEFI and Secure Boot

    To all those who can help you:

    I got a Dell Precision M4700 and I update bios A05. I was intending to move to Windows 8. Everything was fine and the bios update was successful. I started the new bios under Windows 7 Professional (base OS) factory-installed and was very good.

    However, I can't get into the bios (not even see the POST from Dell or Logo) after I activate the UEFI and Secure Boot.This before I update to Windows 8 Pro. Now I'm stuck with a blank screen (same LCD not lit) and nothing to start. It's like a dead PC.

    Help, please. Is that what I can do or should I contact Dell Support for repair?

    Thank you

    I fixed it!  Just removed the CMOS battery, the BIOS got reset back to factory default.  So I did:

    (1) remove the battery

    (2) press the power button to the case of ground

    (3) remove the lower panel

    (4) disconnect the CMOS battery (it's tedious)

    (5) I hit the power button for some time (30 s) to clear the capacitors or something else, it was my theory, but I doubt it's necessary

    (6) use it to all back to the start

    When I turned it on it turns on and turns off several times before finally stay standing and I was then able to enter the BIOS and all the settings have been restored to factory default.  I am new to Windows 7 on my machine so I'll repeat the process, this time without disabling the legacy option roms!

    Here is the disassembly for precision M6700 and M4700 instruction manual if anyone needs:

    I was talking about the Dell support problem and the guy said he would talk to his superior and see if something needs to be done, so I guess we'll see if something happens.

    I hope it works for you!

    Thank you.

    There could be a problem with the wifi driver that comes with Windows 10. I think that you first need to find the right driver for Windows 10 on the Acer site. Otherwise, you may need to install a usb wireless card.

  • HP Envy23: Start Menu button does not work

    The Start Menu button has suddenly become unusable. The Home icon has been replaced by a sheet with the icon corner folded, and in a hurry, I get a message saying "the drive or network connection that designates the shortcut"Start Menu.Ink"is not available." Tried a couple of these corrections online and made sure everything is up to date.  Everything works well, except for this menu. Any suggestions?

    Hi there @Quetzle53

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that the start menu works correctly for you. I'm happy to help you with this.

    If this just started to happen, it may be a good idea to start with a system restore, if possible. See the following link Microsoft showing the various recovery options in Windows 10, including system restore.

    Recovery in Windows 10 options - windows.microsoft.com

    First try restoring, and then if it does not give a shot with the System File Checker. The following link is a very complete description of this command and how to use it. The command SFC - run in Windows 10 - tenforums.com

    Afterwords to test and see if the normal is restored. If this isn't the case, then try the reset method described in my first link.

    Let me know if it works for you. If so please mark this message as a solution. If this is not the case, let me know any other details that you can, for example, error messages or other symptoms that you notice.
