---- x Win show elaborated Win10 start menu + tiles I did not always see KeyRelease - maybe because followed by first Win-X show system menu Definitely has different effect, raising simple menu with no time delay. Never see keyRelease, probably because FocusOut is very quick. The Win10 Start display with tiles is more elaborate than Win-x system menu and Win7 start menu. Win-x show desktop == remove all else, very quick Conclusion: Win removes focus so tk does not see followup key, nor, usually, Key-Release, so code should not look for that. D-Win in that order Win ignored by system if another key down. Cntl x Cntl-x, definite down in that order
