Since I changed to Windows 10, every time I press F7 a new window of Outlook is launched.
I tried to override this behavior in applications (Word, Excel, Visual Studio) but any of them seem to detect the F7 input event.
Why is F7 launching the e-mail app, and how can I stop it?
Also, I searched google all around and couldn't find an answer.
It is probably your keyboard. Some deafult to F-keys, some to FN-keys. – Zina – 2016-02-16T15:05:11.023
F1-F12 are all ok, except for F7. My keyboard is a Kinesis Advantage Pro with default config. – LMB – 2016-02-16T15:09:28.200
So it is a programmable keyboard. Check your settings. Try to change the behaviuor for F7 and see what will happen. – Zina – 2016-02-16T16:04:19.243

I can't assign a different keycode to a key. I can only remap existent keycodes. The problem is the F7 and F8 keys do not input their usual keycode. Instead, they return a keycode larger than a byte, which can not be mapped using SharpKeys, or KeyTweak, or KeyMapper =/ – LMB – 2016-02-17T22:22:20.327
