  1. Ctrl key stuck on even when keyboard removed


    I recently cleaned my normal keyboard by removing the caps and spraying them with disinfectant. When im plugged my keyboard back in it acted if the ctrl key was constantly down. I tried restarting several times and nothing worked. I plugged in a second keyboard which worked but when i plugged the old one back in it happened again even when i removed the old keyboard.

    Does anyone know whats wrong?

    We are not used to use this keyboard, where are the Ctrl keys, to copy/paste and such?

    CTRL key acts as if it's stuck?

    Hey!

    I'm running Windows 10, and for a few weeks now, it has been acting as if the CTRL key is jammed. I replaced my keyboard with multiple others, and the problem persisted. I read a few forums, and one suggested to press both CTRL keys at the same time,
    which only worked once. Then, another said to open the virtual keyboard. This showed clearly that the keys were indeed held down, but I couldn't deactivate them from there, so it really didn't help. Are there any fixes to this?
