    Only Microsoft could make something so simple, so complicated. I reinstalled Windows 11 on my laptop, brand new installation. No gaming keyboard, no external keyboard. And yet now I have to troubleshoot a simple keyboard shortcut that doesn't work. Microsoft, fix your OS.

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to Windows + L not working.

    1. Please try to change Keyboard to any other normal USB keyboard or Non-Gaming keyboard.
    2. Try to run Troubleshooter Click Start -> Settings -> Update & security -> Troubleshoot -> Scroll down -> Click Keyboards -> Click Run the Troubleshooter
    3. Disable any Antivirus program or Windows firewall you may have for temporary purpose.
