Win Lock enabled itself, how do I disable it?

[SirMerideo]

A while ago Win Lock has enabled itself on my keyboard and now I don't know how to disable it.
Searching on google for hours with no result, haven't found any keyboard shortcuts to disable it, nothing.

My keyboard is a Hama Urage Lethality.
[OS is Windows 10]

Thanks for any help!

Is that a specific key or the win+L feature? is it a key that disables the windows key?

the MS page to fix it doesn't seem to load right: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/kvosters/comments/feed/

Manual isn't very helpful: https://www.hama.com/webresources/article-documents/00113/man/00113710man_de_en.pdf

I found that MS page as well, also looked through all the key shortcuts from Windows but found nothing. On that MS page that doesn't load up, you can see a bunch of comments saying "thank you" and things like that but i didn't find the solution. Maybe I just skipped it.

Manual is as useful as any other manual, you can just throw it away instantly. It doesn't have a specific button for this and also doesn't have the "game mode" that automatically disables it. Tried looking through the registry, nothing. Group policies, nothing.

Looked through a few Google pages worth of info, but absolutely nothing, and it's getting really frustrating.

so what is it doing? has it disabled the windows key? (I have a Logitech G910, the only key that is never lit up is the key that locks the win key, so i know when its off)

its not exactly easy to disable since you have to use the registry: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/216893/how-to-enable-or-disable-the-keyboard-windows-key

Yes the Windows key is disabled and the "Win" light is on (the 4th one).
The key is also NOT disabled in the registry, it was either disabled by itself or from a key combination I do not know and accidentally used it.

It is also not the end of the world if this problem is with the keyboard and not with my system. Tomorrow I'm getting a Razer X Chroma and i really hope that will fix it.

Have you tried resetting keyboard settings? http://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-keyboard-settings-default-windows

try doing a clean boot and see if it changes anything: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

try making a new account and see if same thing still happens: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/instantanswers/5de907f1-f8ba-4fd9-a89d-efd23fee918c/create-a-local-user-account-in-windows-10

Actually it was way easier than most people described here. It should work with most Urage Keyboards, but seems to be manufacturer specific.
So if you got another Keyboard from a different manufacturer, you should probably consult your keyboard manual.
Win Lock can be activated and deactivated with the combination FN+F12
