Enabling windows logo key

I've tried to find support on enabling my windows logo key - I don't know how it got disabled and don't really know if it was ever enabled to be honest since I didn't really use it prior to this windows 10 update.

Since I now have no other way to get to the desktop (that I can find) I need to be able to use it but it will not work.

I tried a fixit thing but it said I was using the wrong version of windows.

Any advice for how to enable the windows logo key in Windows 10?

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

It would be grateful if you could provide us few questions answer to understand the issue better and to provide you better assistance.

  1. What is the make and model of the computer?

Lets’ try simple steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue. I suggest you to go through the powershell command and try the below steps.

  1. Open the Task manager.  Here’s a tip:  Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
  2. Click on File tab and select Run New Task.
  3. Make sure you have a check mark beside Create this task with administrative privileges.
  4. Type Powershell.
  5. Type the following in the Powershell prompt:
    $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest
  6. Close the Powershell window
  7. Reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

Hope this helps. Post us with the status we will be glad to help you.
