Windows 10: Ctrl+w doesnt work for cs2

My ctrl+w does not work when playing cs2. It was my old keyboard, so I got a new one and it turns out it's not the keyboard. All of my Toggle Keys, Sticky Keys, and Filter Keys are off. What should I do?

Ctrl W not working

I recently updated my computer to Windows 11, and I was having an issue with the GameBar, where whenever I used the shortcut ctrl w, the GameBar popped up. I found a way to disable this (by removing the GameBar), but now my ctrl w shortcut won't work. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Ctrl + W works as if Ctrl + V... but only once

I'm having a strange issue with Ctrl + W on Windows 10.

When I press Ctrl + W, it pastes my clipboard... the first time. But if I continue to hold Ctrl, and press W again, it prints "w".

It's as if Windows "forgets" that Ctrl is being held - if I press any key, it acts as its normal key, without a Ctrl modifier.

Here's an example:

I open NotePad. My clipboard contains "Hello".

• I press W
  
  
• I hold Ctrl
  
• I press W
  
  
• I press W
  
  
• I press A
  
  
• I release Ctrl
  

The behaviour is the same on all programs I've tested.

I've previously edited the registry keymap, but since reverted it. Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout contains only (Default)

I'm trying to map Ctrl + W to close tabs in Android Studio, so any help would be appreciated.

Turns out TenClips Clipboard Manager overrides Ctrl + W by default

I got my Ctrl + W back by:

• Opening TenClips settings
  
• Removing the shortcut for "Paste purified text", which was set to Ctrl + W by default
  

Apparently these settings will be reset on reboot unless you pay for TenClips... so I am now using CopyQ
