After an upgrade which happened in last couple of weeks my Windows 8.1 got strange behavior in regards to user-input.
- All hotkeys like
Win + D
,Win + R
,Win + Q
and so on, result in opening Metro interface (or however it is called at the moment) besides of the desired action. PressingWin + E
results in opening new file-explorer window AND opening and Metro interface. - Layout switching hot keys, i.e.
Alt + Shift
, I have three language layouts setup and I can not useAlt + Shift
any longer. I went to language settings and changed my shortcut toCtrl + Shift
, which partially works. If I switch setting back toAlt + Shift
- nothing works. By partially I mean that shortcut doesn't work on logon screen, where it used to work without an issue. So, at the moment I have to use language bar to switch my languages with mouse in many cases.
I tried googling several times for these issues and found nothing relevant. My colleagues also doesn't seem to have that issue on their computers, though they upgraded as well.
Update My computer is Samsung NP550P5C
