## Troubleshooting:
### Office keeps randomly opening!
- If you encounter an issue where Office opens when you press a key, you can apply a registry tweak using command prompt with admin privliges.

> REG ADD HKLM\Software\Classes\ms-officeapp\Shell\Open\Command /t REG_SZ /d rundll32
I ran this myself and experienced no negative effects. I pulled this tweak from [tenforums](https://www.tenforums.com/microsoft-office-365/154729-disable-shift-ctrl-windows-alt-opening-login-office.html).

### Some keys aren't working!
- If some keys aren't working properly, try turning on Numlock. You can do this by pressing [mode]. A notification will appear that says Numlock has been set to either 1 or 0.
- 1 means Numlock is now on.
- 0 means Numlock is now off.

### I'm not getting notifications from CEyboard!
- If you do not recieve any notifications from CEyboard, check in Settings that notifications are enabled for CEyboard. Do this even if you're sure you didn't turn them off.

### I don't see my issue listed!
- If you have any other problems, please create an issue on the Github page or on Cemetech!
