Windows 10: ctrl f not working

ctrl f does not work.shuts down WORD when I use it

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.

 

CTRL+F doesn't work

I don't know why but CTRL+F stopped working completely for me on all applications. I've tried things like uninstalling the keyboard driver and reinstalling it, and all the keys definitely work individually (for example I can use CTRL+SHIFT+F just fine for
some applications that allow that), no other shortcuts seem to be affected, just CTRL+F. I've also tried an SFC scan and nothing changed. I've also tried to just make a macro to press CTRL+F using my mouse/keyboard software but both don't work, so it seems
there is a problem with the shortcut itself.

Ideally, I'd prefer not having to reinstall to fix it. So if anyone knows how to fix this I'd really appreciate it.

I am using Windows Ver 1903 running the latest update. I think this issue may have arisen when I updated from 1809 to 1903, but I'm not exactly sure and I updated a few months ago.

 

CTRL + F Combination not working in any application

Forgot important info: it is the Left CTRL + F. The Right CTRL + F combo is working.
