Widow+ Hotkey combinations not Working

[orbojeff]

For some reason my Windows+ Hotkeys are not working: Window+E
(explorer), Window+R (run), Window+M (minimize all)

I haven't installed any new software lately.
I even tried removing my keyboard software.

What could I have done to disable this?

Thanks
Jeff

The keyboard could be defective, try another. You may have
picked up a virus, scan. You may have disabled a key or
assigned a key a new function.

Check that the language of the keyboard is correctly set.

Your keyboard have an "F-Lock" key? Unlock it first...

I'm using a laptop, with no external keyboard
There is a function key, but I don't see a function lock.
I'm currently scanning for visurus

I do not have the key "NoWinKeys=" under that path, only
"NoDriveTypeAutoRun"

Also Alt+F4 doesn't close the current app.

Thanks

Check here also:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Delete "NoWinKeys" if found.
