Things I have tried
I tried getting my windows key to work with obsidian many times, but it stops. Seems like there is a glitch.
Did you ever solve this? If you want some help, please post your “Show debug info”.
And maybe also, what language/region in your keyboard set to?
Does it happen in the Sandbox help vault too?
Do you have any hotkey remapping? For example, I have an Apple keyboard. So in Windows, I remap Command and Option to be opposite using PowerToys, so the “Windows” key is in the middle. But if I ever run an app as administrator, then that mapping gets temporarily lost. (Not saying this is your issue. But it might be a clue.)
@rigmarole I have the same exact problem, I would post my “show debug info” but I don’t know where to find it. Anyway my keyboard is set to Italian. I do use a remapping to have easier access to characters like ` and ~, but the windows key doesn’t work even with the standard keyboard or in the sandbox vault.

I did try to disable excalidraw, but the problem presists
Hello.
The installer is out of date, as is Obsidian itself. Might help to grab the latest versions:
just tried that but still no luck. two things I noticed though are that
- I use windows 11 but the debug info shows windows 10
- even though the windows key does nothing the virtual keyboard still detects it when I press it
very weird…

Hope someone can help.
alright looks like reinstalling the whole program fixed it… Alas, the solution was much simpler than I thought, yet it never crossed my mind
