Win Key Stops Working - Solution

[rsutter]

Hello All,

I generally use a RedDragon S101W wired keyboard on my PC. 
See https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-S101-Keyboard-Ergonomic-Programmable/dp/B00NLZUM36
Two things happened recently.

First, I noted that a red light appeared in the upper right hand corner of the keyboard right above the WinLock key.

Second, one of my favorite Windows keyboard shortcuts, Win + m (Show Desktop) stopped working.

Unsure of how to turn off the WinLock light, I resorted to actually reading the RedDragon Manual.
The manual explained that with the WinLock light illuminated, the Win key was disabled.
I learned that I could re-enable it by holding down the FN key and then pressing the Win key.
That turned off the red light and restored the functionality of the Win key.
Sometimes it is useful to read the manual.
