  1. Windows 11 Game Mode off still locking Windows Key


    When I open any game on my computer the windows key stops working. When I first looked up a solution it said that this was a feature from having Game Mode on. So I checked settings and Game Mode was off. Is there a seperate reason other than Game Mode that makes my Windows Key stop working? And yes I checked my gaming keyboards software to see if it had game mode that was on and it was not.

    :)

    Xbox game pass FPS issues

    The games were working fine on windows 10. When I got windows 11 I had to pay for a new key to get the watermark off and I don't want to have to pay for another one for downgrading if I just will be upgrading again later on. Also when I go to downgrade it say downgrade to windows 7.

    Task Bar and Top of Window Appears When Playing Certain Game Pass Games

    Is there an option for Windowed mode? I haven't played those specific games to test, but some games have Full Screen and Windowed mode, which can run in conjunction. A Full Screen + Windowed mode would exhibit the symptoms you're describing, which is
    being full screen, but still have the window options available. If there is a Windowed option, turn that off.

    Windows Key + V not working in Windows 11.

    Hello Luis L, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

    I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with the Windows + V keyboard shortcut in Windows 11. To the best of my knowledge, the Windows + V key combination is not enabled by default in Windows 11 to open the clipboard. However, there is an alternative way to access the clipboard in Windows 11.

    You can follow these steps to open the clipboard in Windows 11:

    Press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the Start menu.
    Type "Clipboard" in the search bar and select the "Clipboard" option in the list of results.
    The clipboard window will open, where you can view and manage the contents of the clipboard.
    If Windows keyboard + V is not working specifically in your case, it could be due to a specific setting or conflict on your system. Here are some additional suggestions you could try:

    Check your clipboard settings: Go to Windows 11 settings, select "System," then "Clipboard." Make sure the "Multiple Clipboards" option is enabled.

    Restart your computer: Sometimes a restart can fix temporary system problems and reset keyboard shortcuts.

    Check if any other application is using the keyboard shortcut: Some other application or utility may be using the Windows + V key combination, which could cause a conflict. Try closing or disabling other apps that may be using that keyboard shortcut and see if that fixes the problem.

    Update your system: Make sure you have the latest Windows 11 updates installed. You can check if updates are available by going to Windows Settings, selecting "Update & Security," and then "Windows Update."

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.
