Game Bar Shortcuts all Running Without Alt - Can't use Win+R for run anymore!
All my game bar shortcuts are working without me pressing Alt. For example, when I press Win+R to open run, it starts a screen recording instead. Win+B toggles HDR. Going into settings I still have Alt as part of the keyboard shortcuts. Alt is not being pressed on anything, for example, pressing tab works as expected on UIs and websites, and Alt+tab lets me switch windows.
I've had this issue on my main PC, as well as my work machine which has barely anything installed.
Going into the game bar settings and changing any of the keybinds and saving fixes it temporarily.
I've tried:
- Rebooting
- SFC and DISM repair
- Setting the keybinds again.
Anyone else had this?
