How to Unlock Windows Key on Redragon Keyboard

You can turn off the Win key on the Redragon Keyboard in different ways. Remember, these fixes are compatible with Windows 10 or Win OS.

Method #01: Press Fn + Win Keys

This method uses combination keys to disable Windows keys.

  • Get your hands on the Fn and Windows keys. Gently press both buttons together.

Method #02: Change the Registry Settings

Is the combination key method not working for you? I hope this method will work for sure. I suggest changing the Registry settings. Many elements like keyboard keys and menus get restricted due to Registry. To turn off Windows keys with the help of this method, follow the below steps.

Step 01: Hover your mouse on the Start Menu and click on it.

Step 02: Next, type Run. Once the option comes, click “Run.”

Step 03: You will see a pop-up box with an open space to type. Type ‘regedt32’ in that open space and hit Enter or click OK. A new message might appear asking for your confirmation; select YES.

Step 04: Now, you will be redirected to a new Windows Menu. Locate “HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE” on “Local Machine” and select it.

Step 05: Scroll down and search for a folder named “System\CurrentControlSet\Control” Double-click on it.

Step 06: Now, click on the folder “Keyboard Layout.”

Step 07: Find out the “Scancode Map” registry entry and select it by providing a right-click. A drop-down menu will appear. Click Delete from there.  

Step 08: A confirmation or warning message will come. Close the warning box by selecting Close.

Step 09: You will have to close the Registry Editor. Then restart your laptop or computer.

The Windows Key will get activated with the process. If the process doesn’t activate the Win Key of your Redragon keyboard, follow the next method.

Method #03: Restart File Explorer or Windows

File Explorer controls the Windows user interface. Restarting your computer or laptop will help clear any glitches or errors. Here are the steps to do so.
