    Recently I installed a program called Clover
    https://clover.en.uptodown.com/windows


    It adds multiple tabs to your windows explorer.


    Well for one reason or another I uninstalled the program.
    However after that my Windows Key on my keyboard does not work.
    So the shortcuts like

    WIN+R for Run
    WIN+E For Explorer
    etc.
    no longer work.


    A USB Keyboard has the same problem however the OSK - On Screen Keyboard allows them to work fine.


    I uninstalled the keyboard driver and rebooted, allowed it to re-install but still no joy.


    Any ideas please ?

    Try system restore from before the install.

    Much easier than trying to figure out what the installer program did.

    Indeed but I have no restore points that are valid - All were made after that install unfortunately

    It seems to have altered the registry and I have searched but can not find how to restore the use of the key.
