When I press WinKey+R to bring up the run-command, it started not working all the time. I don't recall if it's been there since I've installed Windows 10 or appeared after, but I would like it if I didn't have to install it all over again.
I don't use a wireless keyboard.
Tests I've done:
- WinKey+D (or L, A,
X, K, M, Q) works fine
all the time, as does the WinKey itself to open the Start Menu. - When I'm in Chrome browser (for example) and I scroll a page, it's
enough for WinKey+R to be ignored. I have to
change focus to another window (e.g., to Command Prompt) and only then
can I press (WinKey+R) twice to open the
Run dialog. (But it's not consistent when I have to do this – it might
work first try!) - WinKey+X followed by WinKey+R, for example, doesn't yield any result.
- If I click the taskbar (the one that used to contain the 'Start' button) and press WinKey+R, it works!
I was thinking that it could be due to some program catching the key-combination, but I can't seem to find any (did scans with S&D, AVG, Ad-Aware).
Any ideas what it might be or how I can debug this?

[EDIT] my "solution" seems to have been a fluke: it seemed to work for a about a week, then it reverted to the old problem ... so I still have no idea what causes this problem
[EDIT 2] this problem is solved / does not occur anymore since updating to Windows 10
