Windows 10: ctrl, windows, and alt keys dont register.

This is not a physical issue, as it shows the same problem across all my keyboards on this computer. I've tried different USB outlets, that doesn't work either. I've tried using a remapping program to remap ctrl to another key, and then that key doesn't work until I set it back to what it was before. When I map one of these "nonworking keys" to a letter, like "e," it registers fine. I've restarted my computer and tried a lot of solutions online, none have worked. Please help!

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.
