cheat console dont work in windowed mode

Ok I can see that it is the game taking the screenshot a little late (it seems it does it as you let go of the keys) which points to a keyboard error. Please try to see if you can borrow another keyboard to test with.

tried like you said with 3 different keyboards still dont open the cheat console window keeps taking screen shots which it shouldnt do it should open the cheat console window

I also still cannot open the cheat bar in windowed mode.

My computer doesn't even take a screenshot - it just does nothing.

Thought you said it's not working in any mode for you ?

As said before, it's best to either create your own thread or use any of the ones that are for all modes. Like to figure out here what's going on if it's a problem in Windowed mode only in this thread.

@AngelDream2007  We're not trying to give you the runaround but try to figure out why it's not working for you. To me it seems that the game is not recognizing the shift-ctrl in windowed mode. It's an interesting problem but EA will also not be able to fix it if they can't find out what's going on, especially as it doesn't seem to be a general issue. Any info you can give is is helpful.

So far we already ruled out a few things, so that's good. Now we only need to figure out what is causing the issue. 

Are you running Origin In Game ? If so, might be worth turning that off.

ok so jpkarlsen who said ctrl shift winkey + C 

it opens in windowed mode with those keys

ive also been having this issue for a very long time.

im on desktop gaming pc i built last year in August, ive only just came across this thread which is why i am replying as clearly it isnt just that AngelDream2007's issue.

Edit: ive just tried cnrl+shift+winkey+c and it came up which is weird. why is it like this?

It normally comes up in Fullscreen mode normally but never windowed.

i can not use Fullscreen as i have -w as a command in "game properties" because there's an issue with thesims4 not recognizing my gpu. (amd 5700xt).

Helped me too. This had been killing me!
