U key keeps popping up Utility Manager
I have a pc that when the U key is pressed will pop up the Utility Manager as if the Windows logo key were pressed with the U key, but it's not. I have switched keyboards, but it still does it. Any way to deactivate or suggestions?

Are you using a laptop or desktop?
Also does it do this while in other accounts on this machine or just yours.

It is a desktop and both user accounts on this pc do the same thing.

I should have done this first. I restarted the pc and all is fine. I'm thinking the original keyboard caused the problem with a sticky key, then after replacing the keyboard, the problem continued because I didn't restart with the new one in. I just assumed replacing would be sufficient.
I gave you both points.
Tomtinsley more for being first then following through, and dothedew335 200 for some good instructions.
Thanks guys.

I don't think you meant to accept yet? You can post a free "question" in community support and they can fix it.

One last thing I can think of to have you try..
Hold down CTRL,ALT and Shift on both sides of the keyboard (6 keys total) for a total of 10-15 seconds, you might even hear you computer beep. But just do it for atleast 10 seconds. Then try. If that doesn't work maybe add the windows key to the loop so you hold down all 6 of those and the windows key for atleast 10 seconds.

ops. you must have been typing while I was. ignore my post then. I appreciate the points but if you solved it yourself you should have the question deleted and points refunded. You can post a question in community support to have it fixed.

I have not set anything, and a quick look there reveals none checked.
