Msi Laptop Windows Key Not Working

Bought this as an upgrade for my MSI laptop and it works great!

I got this for free when purchasing my MSI GL63 laptop. Can't complain!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this item 6 months ago it working so well with my windows laptop and lab instrument to transfer data. I love the size, it's so small and light.

Bought this monitor to hook up to my laptop that I use for both gaming and work. With the 27inch monitor I'm able to pull up two windows while working and still see what I am working on. With the 144hz my monitor can keep pace with the output of my laptops gpu. Overall I am happy with purchase.

Using it with my MSI laptop with a Aja 4kio. Works like a gems.

Have used X8's for over 5 years now, and just picked one up for my new MSI Creator 17 laptop.

I got this when I purchased my MSI Laptop as I like Thermaltake products, a laptop always needs cooling support and and a review suggested it would lower load temps by 10-15 degrees. Thought that might be hype, but guess what? It does. Try it on.

Updated an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G processor on an MSI B540 motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT processor so I could upgrade my Windows 10 to Windows 11. Everything went extremely well, upgraded BIOS, installed the new CPU, modified a few BIOS settings and upgraded Windows in about 2 hours.

I swapped this kit out with my dual-channel RAM in my MSI GL63, and Windows 10 recognized it immediately. I've had it in for over two weeks and it's been performing flawlessly. Absolutely zero complaints.

I will start with the PURELY ANNOYING first: If you are NOT using Windows, there's no way to update the firmware. Additionally a drive called NO NAME will auto-run on your computer (Mac or Windows) until you install the MSI OSD Settings Software. And, of course, if you only use a Mac, there's no installation available. This unwanted drive will auto-run perpetually on a Mac when using the monitor, unless, in the unlikely event, MSI deems to fix it in future. Otherwise, the monitor is astounding: The color clarity and accuracy is excellent for design work and digital artwork. It was ready to go out of the box and with not a single dead pixel. Maximum frame rates on game consoles are no problem and the monitor auto-connects to devices with ease. My MacBook is connected via the USB-C port and it is buttery smooth to work on a monitor of this size at 120Ghz. MSI is generous with included cords. There's only one HDMI 2.1 included, but then there's a cord included for just about every other major port. The OSD menu is not overdone (which I can only access via the joystick on the back of the monitor as outlined above) and makes perfect sense. It is easy to navigate and key functionalities are customizable. Note: No Gamma adjustments. Additionally B&H, via FedEx, had this monitor delivered in TWO days as promised. Kudos to MSI for packaging that is TRULY protective and expertly sealed to ascertain brand new condition. I am extremely grateful to be able to say "Yes" to this tool for work and play, despite the annoyances. Maybe MSI will consider being more user friendly to Mac users in the future. It's a missed opportunity. The monitor runs beautifully with the Playstation 5 and the Xbox Series X. There's going to be crossover customers who run Mac's for their work, who will be annoyed that MSI didn't consider them important enough to provide full compatibility.
