Hi, I'm unable to start my mac mini into the recovery mode using a windows keyboard, it simply ignores any combination of 'windows' + 'R', or 'ctrl'+'R', or whichever key in combination with 'R' after pressing the power on button. And it won't start on recovery mode, just on normal mode. What am I doing wrong?
Mac mini, macOS 10.13
Is your windows keyboard Wireless or USB.?
Using a USB generic or windows keyboard....

when I used bootcamp I never used anything but a windows layout keyboard and used left ALT pressed to get the boot menu
the keyboards I used was Microsoft arch nautral keyboard and ms Bluetooth something something arch too(still use the Bluetooth keyboard even though I ditched bootcamp on the mac in question)
Thanks for your response. I've tried with a USB keyboard. The ALT+R combination will have no effect. When starting with just the ALT key pressed in, it will show a black screen and the wifi selection option for my mac. After selecting the wifi network, it will nevertheless continue to a normal start. I don't know how te enter to the startup manager or its options, as there won't be any.
