    The Windows key - often abbreviated as WinKey - is the key with the Windows symbol (looks like a flag) on the bottom of your keyboard.

    WinKey + X is shorthand for: Press the WinKey and the X key together

    Thanks Mark, at least I now have a choice but still have to select that icon each and every time l log in!!!

    Yet another example of microsoft removing choices and driving you the way they want you to go - unless you want to spend hours trying to beat them like everyone else on this forum.
