Windows 10: ctrl + space not working

My keyboard doesn't work when i press ctrl + space, this happens in videogames and windows programs like excel and word.I don't have powertoys installed, so that solution didn't worki need help :

:)

 

WIn + space stopped working for me...

While CTRL + win + Space or Shift + win + space do work. What is funny is that when i press win + space it works like I only pressed space.

Win button is working for sure, checked it

Languages list is showing when ctrl or shiift is additionally pressed

Any suggestions?

 

Ctrl+space suddenly stopped working in applications

Ctrl+space is a vital key in Emacs.

After starting my computer from hibernate sleep, Ctrl+space did not work any longer.

It appears as not being mapped at all.

It does not seem to change any input language, it does nothing.

A reboot did not help.

The on-screen keyboard does not work either, Ctrl+space is dead.

I can however remap Ctrl+space with PowerToys and thereby get this key to work, but this is just a work-around.

How do I see what Ctrl+space is mapped to, and how do I restore its mapping so that it reaches applications as before?

 

Both CTRL keys not working
