Windows 10: CTRL+T keyboard shortcut not working on Windows computer

​

The CTRL + T keyboard shortcut is one of the easiest ways to open a new tab in Chrome, Edge, and any other browser, whereas CTRL + Shift + T is used to open the last closed browser tab in a new window. Not only that, but depending on the application, these shortcuts also have different roles. […]

Keyboard Shortcut Issues on ASUS TUF Laptop: Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Alt+Delete Not Working

A few hours ago, after playing a game that required frequent use of the Ctrl key, I noticed that some of my commonly used keyboard shortcuts had stopped working, particularly Ctrl+Z for undoing actions. Instead of functioning normally, pressing Ctrl+Z types a "z". Additionally, other shortcuts that use the Ctrl key, such as Ctrl+Alt+Delete, no longer work, while others such as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V still function properly.



I used the on-screen keyboard to diagnose the issue. When performing a working shortcut like Ctrl+C, the on-screen keyboard indicates that the Ctrl key is held down as expected. However, when attempting Ctrl+Z, the on-screen keyboard shows that the Ctrl key is not being held down after pressing the Z key.



Here are some troubleshooting steps I have already tried, none of which resolved the issue:

• Restarting my computer
  
• Updating Windows
  
• Updating related drivers
  
• Checking startup programs
  
• Reviewing problem history
  
• Checking Task Scheduler
  
• Running DISM
  
• Running SFC
  
• Using the Keyboard Troubleshooter
  
• Booting in Safe Mode
  
• Checking for Sticky Keys
  
• Checking for malware
  

Here is a list of shortcuts that do not work:

• Ctrl+Enter
  
• Ctrl+Left Shift
  
• Ctrl+Space
  
• Ctrl+Left Alt
  
• Ctrl+Down Arrow
  
• Ctrl+Up Arrow
  
• Ctrl+F8
  
• Ctrl+Z
  
• Ctrl+N
  
• Ctrl+B
  
• Ctrl+Numpad 0
  
• Ctrl+Numpad -
  
• Ctrl+Numpad *
  

Unfortunately, I cannot test this issue with another keyboard as I am using an ASUS TUF laptop and do not have access to an external keyboard.

I think it might have something to do with the function key as it has done stuff like this before with the windows key and Armoury Crate.

Thank you for your help.

 

Keyboard shortcuts not working from external keyboard

I use an external mechanical keyboard, connected via USB.

Recently some keyboard shortcuts stopped working, but they used to work.

• Windows + Tab
  
• Windows+ V
  
• Alt + Tab
  
• Ctrl + Alt + Del
  

Other shortcuts such as Ctrl + P still work.

Anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot this?

 

Issue with some CTRL keyboard shortcuts not working / registering on Windows 10

I had been trying to figure out why certain shortcuts I use throughout each day had not been working recently, such as CTRL+D and CTRL+P.

Per a suggestion from another thread, I just now simply resolved it by uninstalling the keyboard driver from the Device Manager and restarting my computer. Bam, shortcuts registering again. Hope this helps someone. Thanks to volunteer Vijay_Verma
