ctrl w not working after latest update
I woke up to this issue today as well after allowing my computer to install this update and reboot overnight. I tried uninstalling the update but that did not work initially. However, I noticed that it started happening right after Samsung Magician started. So, I killed that process, and ctrl+w started working again! Weird. The hotkey continues to work after starting Samsung Magician again too. I'll prevent it that app from starting and see if the hotkey stops functioning next time I reboot.

sangrapura, as soon as I saw your solution, I went to see if there was an update on Samsung Magician. As soon as I updated it, the ctrl w seemed working again. I don't know what blocks it when the new update comes, but just updating Samsung Magician seems to be fixing the problem.
- This worked for me. Thank you.
- Man you saved me, I was struggling from a week, after updating Magician all working well.
- Seconding this. After stopping Samsung Magician, my Ctrl+W shortcut started working again.
To add to this, There seems to be an issue/conflict with the latest Windows10 update + Samsung Magician. I could not update neither of them. Windows update is giving me error 0x80070643, while Samsung Magician says that there is a vulnerability found when trying to install their latest version(8.0.1) Same here, updating Samsung Magician (to latest version) fixed the issue.
- Same here, updating Samsung Magician (to latest version) fixed the issue.
- Thanks for mentioning Samsung Magician, that is indeed the cause of the problem. Updating to version 8.0.1 seems to have solved it, thought I haven't tried rebooting since updating it.
- Crazy, updated it and the issue was gone.
Never thought that this caused the problem 😄
ty very much! - Thank you, updating Samsung Magician to the latest update (8.0.1) fixed the issue!
sangrapura i had samsung magician installed as well but never considered that could have been a factor! perhaps this was the real issue
IsaacS1580 Same thing here. Updating Samsung Magician fixed it for whatever reason. Strangest thing I've seen in a while.
