Every now and then, the Windows key (one between CTRL + ALT on left side of the keyboard or ALT and CTRL on right side of keyboard) can get stuck in remote desktop sessions.

You’ll know it is happening when typing certain letters that lead to a windows shortcut key combination effect, e.g:

• Typing B -> Winkey + B =status bar
• Typing D -> Winkey + D = show desktop
• Typing E -> Winkey + E = show explorer
• Typing F -> Winkey + F = launches find
• Typing G -> Winkey + G = gadgets (Windows 7)
• Typing L -> Winkey + L = lock computer
• Typing M -> Winkey + M = minimize all windows
• Typing P -> Winkey + P = display output settings (Windows 7)
• Typing R -> Winkey + R = run window
• Typing T -> Winkey + T = task bar (Windows 7)
• Typing U -> Winkey + U = utility manager

Now that you know the list of shortcuts, the fix is simply to tap your windows key a few times until it goes away.
