Windows 10: Ctrl, windows, alt key not working

Hello, my keys on keyboard seem to be not working, more specifically the strg, windows key, alt key and alt gr key. space seems to be working fine though. First I thought my keyboard was the problem, so I borrowed one from my friend but it was still not working. Then after searching a bit on the internet I reinstalled the keyboard drivers TWICE, but it still didn't do anything. After that I ran some commands in the command prompt which many reported to have helped, but no, those didn't work either. Then I created some kind of notepad and merged it but it still. did. not. do. anything. Please s

:)

 

ctrl alt del to logon

Hi Diane,

Conflicts with the user account settings is one of the possible reasons why the secure sign-in option is enabled on your computer even if the box in the settings is not checked. I would suggest that you enable and disable the
Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can follow the steps below:

• Press the Windows key + R.
• Type control userpasswords2 or netplwiz and press the Enter key.
• Click the Advanced tab.
• Under Secure sign-in, check the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox.
• Click Apply.
• Restart your computer.
• Open the same settings again and uncheck the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox and follow the
  steps 5 and 6.

Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

On a domain you won't get Task Manager when you hit Ctrl+Alt+Del. You get a crazy screen with a bunch of options.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc has always brought up just the Task Manager, even back to Windows XP days. You just weren't aware of it. *Wink

Go ahead, try it in Windows XP too.
