Win + Space Doesn't work

Question

Previously, I had utilized PowerToys on the Windows operating system and had successfully configured the "Win + Space" shortcut to initiate the "PowerToys Run" feature. However, since uninstalling PowerToys, I have opted to use a different program known as "Flow Launcher" as a suitable substitute. Despite its efficacy, I have encountered an issue where attempting to assign the "Win + Space" HotKey to "Flow Launcher" results in it being registered as "Win + LWin", which is unexpected.

Answer 1

Then use autohotkey and after you've assigned the hotkey, uninstall it.

There are other methods I gave to to assign hotkeys:

"but the problem is i don't anymore additional applications running in the background." What does this mean? It makes no sense.

There were many suggestions I gave to try. Have you tried autohotkey? What about the others. Where are the results of all the steps I gave you to try, so I know what else to suggest?
