Laptop kept restarting when spacebar/ctrl key is pressed. This happened after playing...

In this case it's possibly a hardware issue, have you contacted your laptop's manufacturer? They'd be more equipped to help you with this.

Thanks,

Hi Min. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this issue, does the laptop say it's restarting or does it just power off?

Have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far?

Thanks,
Kyle

No warning given. Just power off then on again.

Tried troubleshooting, but there were no error

Tried uninstalling - installing keyboard, shut down properly.

Yes powertoys is the way👍

But now I've the same problem with a twist. If I press the spacebar after pressing the win+ctrl then it ignores the remapping and if then I press d then it opens a new virtual desktop which got me killed in game so many times. Now this new shortcut 'win+ctrl+space+d' which also opens a new virtual desktop can't be disabled using power toys cuz it only supports upto 3 key shortcut remappings.

I'm lost and trying to find a way to disable virtual desktops completely which is also seems kinda impossible🙂

This sounds like a internet problem. are you running wireless or wired connection?

you could try flushing your dns:-

Flushing DNS:

1. Press the Windows Key (the key on the left side of the spacebar, between ctrl and alt).
2. Type cmd.
3. a black box will appear
4. Type ipconfig /release in the command prompt.
5. Press [Enter]
6. Type ipconfig /renew in the command prompt.
