How to turn off Default Controller functions in Windows 10?

So, for context: I like using JoyToKey for a lot of web browsing. When I'm watching youtube, or reading a book, I want to scroll with my controller instead of sit up and use the mouse/keyboard.

By default (ie: without JoyToKey), the controller interacts with certain menus of Windows 10. So, when I go to Music, pressing left and right navigates my songs, while pressing A changes the playing song; when using 'windows'+tab to navigate my various windows, pressing left moves left, or right moves right.

My problem is this: I can't use JoyToKey to interact with certain parts of Windows 10, because when I do the bits of it that already do stuff also act. So if I press windows-tab and press the left button, JoyToKey registers it as 'left', but so does Windows 10, so I end up moving twice and opening the wrong window. Or if I'm listening to music and move the analog stick down (the analog stick being my mouse), the music rewinds, because Windows 10 registers me as pressing a reset button or something.

Is there any way to disable all default controller functions entirely, so I can use JoyToKey without worry? Is this even a Windows 10 problem, or am I mis-attributing this issue?

(PS: all steam settings regarding controllers are off, and windows does this stuff even with Steam off, so that isn't the issue. Ease of Access won't help afaik - it's mostly just keyboard configuration or mouse configuration, or otherwise unrelated. The only controller settings I found relate to calibration, which isn't quite what I want.)

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
