Windows Key + R (Run) not working

As the title says when I press "windows key + r" it doesn't open run window as its supposed to.
It was working fine until this evening (last I tried the hotkey was this afternoon) .. later I turned off the laptop and when I turned it on just now .. its not working anymore. At first I though maybe the "R" key is not working/keyboard issue but its not, as you can see I can type "R" so the key works .. so not a keyboard issue.

And after googing a bit I couldn't find a solution, I found other people having issues with all hotkeys not working etc but in this case .. others like "windows key + tab" or, "windows key + d" or, windows key + e" etc works just fine.

Now more strange part .. This keyboard is an external one .. the built-in keyboard on my laptop works fine and "windows key + r" works fine there. So its device related issue or something like that but whatever it is .. it seems out of my league The

keyboard model is: Logitech Wireless Keyboard K270 Oh and I've been using this for about 4/5 years .. I don't recall .. its been a while and its been working great until now and still everything else works fine just not the "windows key +R".

Any idea on how to fix this? and also what could have caused this? Any help is much appreciated.
