Alt + F2 Issue

Hi Community,

I have an issue with using Alt + F2 to hide or unhide reference drawings. My computer pops up "a supported game is required for this feature archicad". What can I do with this situation?

I am using Legion 5i pro 2022 series laptop.

Alt + F2

Your current key combo is volume down?

Hi, Lingwisyer.

Sorry, I wrote the shortcut key wrong, it supposes to be Alt + F2 and the error still exists. Thanks.

That doesn't look like an Archicad message to me.

Looks more like an operating system message or from another background program.

Is there another program running on your machine that is trapping the keyboard shortcuts?

That is what it looks like to me, another program is waiting for you to press ALT+F2.

That message would be from GForce Experience. It appears to be seeing AC as a game and hence enabling it's hotkeys. You could either remove said hoykeys, look through the settings to remove AC from it, or close it entirely.

@LuGine , as Ling suggests, GeForce experience has caused problems with Archicad in the past.

There should be some old posts about it here that can be found with a search if you want to go looking.

I have always disabled or deleted GeForce Experience from any machines I have used.

It really doesn't do anything that I found worthwhile.

Thanks @Barry Kelly and @Lingwisyer.

The issue was indeed caused by the background program (GeForce Experience). I looked on Youtube about turning off Geforce Experience. Below is the Youtube link, in case others have the same issue.
