Hello,
OS: win 8.1 x64; driver version 10.18.10.3621.
I guess I've stumbled upon a pretty annoying bug, which I'd like to report. The problem only surfaced after the last time Windows updated the Intel Graphics software, so I assume the problem didn't exist in the previous versions.
The hotkeys that the software sets by default function globally, so no other software is able to utilize them unless they're disabled from the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. The problem is that even if the hotkeys are indeed disabled from there, they remain bound to the Intel Software, and -- even though the said software itself doesn't use them anymore -- there's no way to use them elsewhere.
I've temporally circumvented that by deleting everything related to the hotkeys from [HKEY_USERS\*\Software\Intel\Display\igfxcui\HotKeys] (binary values with hex data).
Also, just out of curiosity, I've got a question: there's a dword value in the same branch named "HotKeyState", doesn't anyone know what it's supposed to do? It's value data is 1, and it gets reverted to 1 even if changed to 0 or something else. Just to clarify, I ask this because initially I thought that the value in question might be the culprit.
