Hi, I am using an Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch as the keyboard for my Windows PC. I need to do a hotkey combination that requires pressing of Ctrl and Win and '. Tried Ctrl + Option + ' and Ctrl + Command + ' but none of them work. Isn't the Command key the Window key?
 
Normally it would be Option that is the equivalent Windows key. Normal Windows keyboard is Ctrl - Windows key - Alt. It is possible that the fn key is somehow mapped to Ctrl and the control key is the Windows key?

You should be able to test which one is the Windows key when on the desktop by pressing them till you find the one that brings up the start menu.

Command key brings up the start menu. Ctrl key is functioning as I could do copy and paste by pressing Ctrl + c and Ctrl + v. The ' key also works as it shows up on the screen after I pressed the ' key.

However, Ctrl + Command + ' does not work.
