Difficulty with launching FARR when using ` key + focus on desktop.
dcsev:
Yes, can anyone with Windows 8.1 (pref. 64bit) test this? Might be a UAC thing, since it almost always is. This MIGHT not be a FARR specific issue, since Eventghost is having the same strange issue (?).
Truelaunchbar doesn't have this problem, which is why I never noticed it before.

So I changed to Alt+Space, which is better as it can be done with the left hand only.

I am using Alt-Space to launch FARR for years now, and I've never missed having opened the system menu. (I am using Win+arrow keys to manage window sizing and moving instead of the system menu)
There is also an alternative. You can use another Mouser tool called TapTap to invoke FARR using a double tap on Ctrl (or any other key)

I'm running Windows 7 and it works fine when focused on the desktop.
Can someone else with Windows 8 test this? Surely there must be some explanation for such an odd thing.

mouser,
As suspected (sigh) and as most of my problems stem from, I have concluded that MS Window's UAC implementation is to blame for the blocking of the keystrokes.
Even if I turn the slider in the UAC control panel, I still have problems. Disabling UAC thoroughly through a reg key, effectively giving the machine full and TRUE admin access using the following reg key
--- ---Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

UPDATE:
Running explorer with full elevated priveledges (killing it and running as admin) fixes the problem above. Not my ideal solution would be an understatement of the century and I still don't know why it's happening :(
