I spent the night tweaking my computer running windows 7. I got a little performance gains but unfortunately, the Win-key keyboard shortcuts no longer work.
How do you fix them? What service requires them?
I'm mainly interested in the ones that move and re-size working window to half the screen.
2It was unchecked for me, had to check it, hit apply, then uncheck it and re apply to fix the problem. – grimurd – 2015-12-20T14:48:50.703
3I would say this is an answer to a slightly different question. If 'prevent...' is checked then the windows do not snap, irregardless of whether it is the keys or the mouse that try to snap them. However, I am experiencing a differnt problem, in that the mouse can snap windows, but the window key+arrow keys cannot, And yes, my windows keys works in itself...

I had trouble with it. It didn't seem to work until I restarted the computer and THEN went and unchedked the checkbox. – Derek – 2016-08-04T10:32:29.897
Apparantely I too have what @Derek is having. Mouse snapping work, keyboard dont. It was working a while ago, but stopped just now. Something weird happenned. A bug, surely. – Maha – 2017-06-24T08:55:44.020
1Thank you so much! For the longest time I thought these shortcuts required Aero (gross!), so I gave up, even though they were neat shortcuts. Then they worked on my computer at work even without Aero on. This was indeed the issue. :) – neminem – 2013-07-13T00:13:33.103
