Meta / Super / Windows keys not working

cn flag

I have seen many questions asked here on AskUbuntu, SuperUser, and Reddit where people are having trouble getting their Meta / Super / Windows keys to work. I have tried all the suggestions but nothing is working. I don't know if this is an Ubuntu thing, a Gnome thing, an Gnome extension thing, or something with my Keyboard.

If I got to Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources > English (US) Ellipses > View Keyboard Layout a digital keyboard pops up. This window shows me that when I press either Meta / Super / Windows keys left or right, and the Menu key nothing happens.

I just turned off all of my Gnome Extensions so I don't think they are the problem. Some suggest going into Gnome Tweaks > Keyboard & Mouse > Additional Layout Options and changing the Alt and Win behavior. I have tried all of them. But as I previously stated my keys are not being registered.

Most answers suggest hitting FN + {F1-12} But I don't have an FN key and pressing the F key they suggest also does nothing. I have pressed all F keys then my Meta / Super / Windows keys and nothing changes.

Is there any other way to enable these keys? I have a Logitech G613 if that makes any difference.... I took my brother-n-laws keyboard works on my computer. Plugged my keyboard into my laptop doesn't work. So I Googled Logitech G613 and remembered....

I forgot that my keyboard has a gaming mode. And part of gaming mode is disabling your windows keys so that they don't interrupt gaming....

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
