flux disables windows key

Jokester2101

Hi,
Using flux 4.134 on Windows 10. Whenever flux is enabled, the windows key no longer works. Verified this by closing the flux which enables the windows key.

I had the following options enabled:

I have a laptop connected to my monitor. Unplugged the monitor and the issue still remains.

If it helps, please find the driver info:

Can anyone guide on how to fix this issue?

@Jokester2101 f.lux registers the hotkey Win+End (which doesn't change the functioning of Windows key used on its own), and if it is launched with the hotkey preference disabled, it should never touch this at all. Do you have any other software that might be changing hotkeys when f.lux adds its hotkey?

I am not sure which software that does this - f.lux impacts the win key.

@herf said in flux disables windows key:

Could you tell me where we configure this in the options above? I don't see this.

@Jokester2101 You have the "hotkeys" checkbox off, so it should not affect the Windows key.

The only place we register a hotkey is related to this, and if f.lux is relaunched it does not even call the windows code to ask for the hotkey. It's specifically registering Windows+End.
