    Both CTRL keys not working

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    • Do you get any error message?
    • Did you make any changes in your computer prior to this issue?

    I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have tried to resolve the issue.

    Follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    Method 1: To check if Ctrl keys work in Onscreen keyboard.

    • Press Windows Key + R and type osk and hit Enter.
    Try using Ctrl keys and check if that helps.

    if you still face the issue, try Method 2.

    Method 2: Run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Control panel.


    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Thanks

    I Need My Ctrl+Win+D Keyboard Shortcut Back


    You see, even if I switched it from "Ctrl+Win+D" to "Alt+Win+D", I get the Calendar/Time popping up! Ugh, does anyone have any other suggestions?

    CTRL+D not working as usual

    Can I change ctrl-D to Duplicate in Windows 10?

    Hello,

    I regularly switch from Mac to Windows and back, and usually I instantly adapt to whichever system I'm using. Other than ctrl-D. On a Mac, it's 'duplicate' (eg. click on a file, hit command-D, and a duplicate appears). On Windows, it's the total, disastrous, opposite - delete. Whoever chose that obviously didn't notice that there's a 'Delete' key on the keyboard already assigned to this - I hope they got fired for that bizarre error. I can only assume it'll get bug-fixed in version 1.01 of Windows *really . Anyway - to the point - is there an easy way to tweak the registry or something to fix this?

    Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    ~ Paul
