Let me understand what exactly is the nature of the problem: is it
true that only _some_ hyper- and super- key combinations don't work?
Or do none of them work in Emacs 25.1?
Levis >> None of them work in Emacs 25.1 official release. For example, key combinations starting with super don't work, but if I make a combinationsuch C-super-a (C-s-a) works. It seams that super and hyper can't be triggered as prefix.

No suggestions.  If setting w32-use-fallback-wm-chars-method to a
non-nil value doesn't help, I don't know how this is possible, since
there's no other difference between Emacs 24.5 and 25.1 I know about
regarding keyboard support.
