"Windows key + R" is no longer working

1

Windows+R is no longer working. It was working a while back, and it still works in the Windows 7 VM I'm running on the same machine.

Windows+L does work, but some other shortcuts do not work.

I tried solutions from a similar problem here but they did not work.

I do not have the registry values suggested at this link.

1It's called "Sticky Keys" it was likely enabled when you spammed accidentally a Key combination there was a prompt displayed also. – Ramhound – 2013-07-23T20:06:45.543

Thanks to this post, I pressed every key on the keyboard a few times then it started working again. I am not sure why some hotkeys worked some did not work but it looks like I had a key that was stuck.

3Maybe you literally had sticky keys. – MDMoore313 – 2013-07-23T20:40:15.620

LOL. I have had problems with the ctrl key getting stuck in the past too. – Soenhay – 2013-07-25T16:46:22.450
