K100 G key assignement not launching app

[digitaltrance]

Hello all,

I have a K100 and using iCUE to assign the G keys to launch powershell or command prompt. However I am not getting any response. I have the application path directly to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" in iCUE and it doesn't launch. Same thing happens with command prompt. Other applications however seem to work.

 

Any one have any experience with this?

Doesn't work for me either, same keyboard, Windows 11 Pro.

I also put the path to the .exe into a .bat file, and had the Gkey shortcut point to that instead.  Same issue, doesnt do anything!

Having the same problem. 

I updated iCUE to the latest version, still broken.

I'm simply trying to launch a .bat file with a G key. I have a K100 keyboard.

I am having this issue also.  Unable to launch cmd.exe.  It works for other applications, though.  Is it a permission/security issue with command prompt or powershell?

As a work-around you can record a macro pressing the windows key + R, then type either c m d  or  p o w e r s h e l l, then the enter key.  Be sure to add a delay in the macro after the release of the R+win keys.  Otherwise, it might not open the run window fast enough to catch the other keystrokes.  I go with a 20ms delay.  If you have a slower computer, you might need a longer delay.

Forgot to mention the enter key

This was my solution.

It will take you to just needed to hit tab twice and enter, or hitting ok. This is for opening shell as an admin.
