Fixed in build 1138.

Same here, nice!

Ctrl-Alt restores functionality for me as well.

Yup.. you got it. Ctrl-Alt does in fact restore the functionality!

Romanski,
I probably see the problem without testing this,
could you confirm that hitting Ctrl+Alt restore the global hotkeys functionality for you?

Nice work. The screensaver lockout isn't breaking it, it's the Ctrl+alt+del to unlock it that's likely killing it then.

Thank you both.
I am looking into it.

Confirming, build 1137 on a domain, Win+L keeps the hotkeys working while Ctrl+Alt+Del breaks them.

IN FACT: it's not the locking that breaks it, Ctrl+Alt+Del alone is enough! Just press Esc after Ctrl+alt+del and the hotkeys still get broken.

Yup, I'm on a domain.

I did some testing, using Alt-L to lock out the screen doesn't cause the keys to fail. Using control-alt-delete does cause them to fail.

I'll report what the screensaver lockout does to MM after it kicks in and locks me out since there's no key combination for that.

Anyone else?

Which shortcut do you use for locking the PC?
I suppose you are a member of a domain, aren't you?

For non-domain users it is surely fixed.

I'm running build 1137 and while the release notes indicate it was fixed, I'm still having the problem with the hotkeys disabling after lock.

by Ludek » Thu Feb 07, 2008 8:20 am

It is fixed in build 1136, as a good workaround before this release will be available is hitting WinKey after unlocking and the global hotkey functionality starts working again (as someone already mentioned).

I found that if you unlock your workstation and the multimedia keys no longer work, hitting Win-D (show desktop) restores functionality.

Makes no sense to me, but it works. :D

Thanks! Looking forward to a fix.

I would delete the poll but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that...

Thanks for reporting this. Added to our bug tracking system, we are looking into it.
