I eventually managed to get it to work from the official Emacs 25.1
release, so I think that the problem has been fixed.

This is the form I used:

(when (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
  (setq w32-pass-lwindow-to-system nil)
  (setq w32-pass-apps-to-system nil)
  (setq w32-lwindow-modifier 'super)
  ;; My laptop does not have a right super, so I used the
  ;; 'apps'/'menu' key instead.
  (setq w32-apps-modifier 'hyper))

Also note that even still, Windows still ate a lot of the attempted
super key combos, even those that didn't look like they did anything
(s-z, for example). I know that `s-w` was passed to Emacs, as well as
most of the symbol characters ('[', ';', etc...).

HTH,
