However the files and also we created by using file manager because sometimes it has built in text editors like ES file explorer or solid explorer that have capabilities to add any text. Users have to install the app of ES file explorer or any other similar app in order to edit their document.

The first thing that a user can do in order to make their windows key work again is disabling the gaming mode. Gaming mode can be disabled easily by finding the button with the label of game mode. Then the user has to toggle it in order to switch it off and make your Windows key work again.

Some keyboards even have some special shortcuts in order to toggle between game modes. For example it happens that if we are playing a game and then we accidentally tap on the stack menu then it can open the start menu and disturb our gaming experience. So to avoid this problem gaming mode deactivates the window key temporarily when the mode is on. Sometimes it happens when the user forgets to disable the gaming mode which means that your window key is still locked if you do not disable it.
