a specific game or all of them?When i open up a steam game i suddenly can't use any keyboard shortcut
It's not just a specific game because this started happening only recently and the Windows button doesn't work eithera specific game or all of them?
there have been many games through the years that do not respond to Alt-Tab.
sometimes pressing the Windows button will work in this scenario, sometimes you would be forced to run a windowed mode to continue being able to switch screens.
so all of a sudden no games in your Steam library will allow you to Alt-Tab to the Desktop?It's not just a specific game because this started happening only recently
I don't have any add-ons and windowed borderless doesn't work. I also can't alt-tab at all while a game is on.so all of a sudden no games in your Steam library will allow you to Alt-Tab to the Desktop?
if so, it may be due to some Steam Overlay or something similar.
try disabling all Steam add-ons and any OSD.
and if you are running any of the games in Fullscreen mode try Windowed Borderless.
I have a HyperX Alloy Origins 60 that has a software with Game Mode but i've been it's turned off.Do you have a keyboard that has software (ie corsair ICUE)? My keyboard disables most keyboard hotkeys that would close a game when a game is running.
The thing that's causing it might've been OMEN Gaming Hub but i don't know yet.This sounds like something is running that is blocking Windows shortcuts from executing when in game; just a matter of tracking down what it is.
