Windows 10: A sound effect when I use ctrl+F?

Everytime I use ctrl+F, a beeping sound effect plays. Does anybody know what's happening?



edit: its stopped now, but I still wanna know what caused it.

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

CTRL+F hotkey broken

Ah thank you very much, much appreciated! I can happily use CTRL+F again after following the instructions!

Okay so what I did:

1. Created a new profile by following steps in your link and logged into that profile after reboot.

2. Let everything load, then trying CTRL+F in this new profile, and that worked.

3. Logged off from the new profile, logged into my own profile.

4. Profit! It works again!

Does this mean that my own initial profile is repaired? I will try and see what happens when I remove the newly created profile.

5. After removing the new profile, the CTRL+F shortcut is broken again. So I guess that my own profile is still garbled. Any chance in repairing my profile without too much hassle?

6. Additionally, I have installed a language pack on my main (only) profile. The installation language was Dutch, but I prefer everything in English. In the Windows Login Screen I noticed that in the bottom right no language icon was available for the new
profile, but for my own profile I could see the language icon "ENG" with "INTL" keyboard layout.

7. Redid the steps to add a new profile again. Reboot. Instead of first logging in to the new account, I logged in to my own account first. CTRL+F did not work. So logged out from my own account, logged in to the newly made account where CTRL+F did work.

8. Rebooting and logging in to the newly created account first to check if CTRL+F still works, it does. Then logged into my own account where CTRL+F still doesn't work.
