Win+FN not working

[xdeptu5]

asus g513 2021 (G513IE)
Armory Create removed, all done as instructed. The program functions FNLOCK works, Asus services are stopped under Extra, but the Win+FN function to lock the Windows key does not work. I don't understand what the problem is.

@xdeptu5 hello,

G-Helper is not handling that. On all devices that I have seen FN+WIN works on hardware level without any apps.

@seerge HI!
I put AC back, key matching works again....How do I use G-Helper if key matching doesn't work without AC. Do you have any ideas? I really don't want to use AC on my device, but I guess I have to....

@xdeptu5 it could be that on old devices Win-Lock is handled by software? :) if that's the only feature that is holding you - there are alternative ways to disable win key

Namely by setting it on windows registry or by using Microsoft Power Toys to disable it as explained in

You can also try Sharp Keys to rebind Win key to do nothing

@seerge Too bad Helper can't do that. But it would be great if you could implement support for this function on similar devices, since the keys are programmatically tied to AC. I would like to have quick access to Win+FN function, as it is convenient.

@xdeptu5 does FN+WIN works as a toggle for you when AC is running ? Or do you use app UI to toggle ?

[xdeptu5]

@seerge Works both when AC is closed and open by using the keyboard shortcut FN+WIN
