vip remote

Home button, when used on android box it turns from kodi to android box home screen.
When used on W10 box nothing happens, sometime i want to go back to windows home screen and I can't with out faffing about, forinstance opening e-mail and I can then use show desk top, but i'd rather not have to do that, if theres another simple way of going back could you please tell me how. thanks, Matthew

You can create a Show Desktop shortcut on your desktop, then assign a new keyboard shortcut to this function.

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}

that is the text to enter as the location, once created, right click the icon and select properties. Now click on the Shortcut Key field, and use the VIP remote to enter the key combination you want to use. Tested as working OK on my desktop PC and keyboard, info grabbed from https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/21027-create-show-desktop-shortcut-windows-10-a.html

Ah, hang on, no Ctrl button on the back of the VIP. Is it definitely a VIP, not a VIP Plus remote you have? https://droidbox.co.uk/droidbox-vip-plus-mini-keyboard-airmouse-remote.html is the page for the VIP Plus. That has Ctrl and Shift buttons on the right of the QWERTY keyboard. https://droidbox.co.uk/droidbox-tm-vipremote.html is the original VIP (no "Plus") remote.
If it is the VIP, not a VIP Plus, then WinHotKey might be able to help you - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=WinHotKey&oq=WinHotKey&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
