Windows key stuck after using remote desktop
-
I am about ready, again, to throttle the developer at MS that hasn't fixed this damn bug... Does anyone else have this problem? When you have an open remote desktop window, and switch back and forth between desktops eventually the Windows key will become "stuck". I've read reports that this bug dates back to 2007 and somehow is related to locking your desktop with Windows-L (which I do) but it seems to happen even when my desktop is not locked. D

No, we clean our keyboards regularly :)

David, This has happened to me a few times, not sure if it was always the Windows key though. IIRC, it also used to happen with Ctrl and maybe Shift. Ctrl + Alt + Del then Escape always fixed it for me. Worst comes to worst, I close RDP and re-open it. Hope this helps. :) PS: Let's make a pact, if I lay my hands on whoever is responsible for this bug, I'll strangle him. You return the favour if you get your hands on the guy who made me click Yes to having to authorise UAC and *then* gave me the UAC prompt when I tried writing to C:\Program Files.
Cheers, Vikram. (Got my troika of CCCs!)

This happens to me too with the alt key as well, and I never use RDP. I've talked to a few penguins who've seen the same thing and blame it on crappy hardware implementations.
