On most keyboards, it's ON by default. On some, it can be disabled, usually via a rocker switch on the back (like on a Ducky Shine keyboard).
On ALL keyboards, it can be disabled via the registry, the group policy editor, and by 3rd party programs.
Re-enabling it, depends on HOW it was disabled.

What causes you feel it needs to be turned on, meaning, do you think it's off ?
If you select the winkey, does it not bring up Start menu ?

Go to---Settings>Update and Security>Troubleshoot> Additional troubleshooters>Keyboard>run troubleshooter.
Or try another keyboard if possible.
