    The key combination of CTRL + A + Space is not working


    The key combination of CTRL + A + Space is not working on my keyboard. However, other combinations like CTRL + S + Space, CTRL + D + Space, CTRL + W + Space, and all other combinations are working fine. Also, if I press CTRL and Space together, the A key doesn’t respond, regardless of the order in which I press them. Each of these keys works individually or in pairs, but when I press all three of them at the same time, it fails. Every other triple-key combination seems to work just fine. By the way I am using laptop keyboard. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this issue?

    :)

    Ctrl,shift and alt keys are working with number pad but window key combination not working

    I have attached external keyboard from Lenovo to DELL laptop with 64bit win10. When I tried to use Ctrl,shift and alt keys with number combination from number pad, its working but with windows key combination the numbers from num pad is not working. I have to use the numbers which is top from the letters, which is making difficult to open/switch taskbar items. Any suggestion/solution will be highly appreciated.

    I am using Windows10. The keys left Ctrl, C, Windows Key, R are working fine individually. But the combinations Ctrl+C and Win+R are not working on the laptop's keyboard, whereas the same are working fine on the external keyboard.

    The other combinations such as Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Z are working fine.

    I have tried to search in the internet, but no luck. Please advise.
