  1. 'D' and 'F' key-input doesn't work whilst pressing Left CTRL or ALT.


    Hey,

    I first noticed this issue a week ago when my keybind in World of Warcraft stopped working, which is ALT+F, later when playing Counter Strike, I realized that I could not crouch and walk right at the same time, CTRL+D.

    I've yet to discover any more combinations that are not working.

    What I've done to try and solve it:

    • Install latest windows, 2004 version.
    • Reinstall drivers.
    • Try different keyboards (which work fine on another PC).
    • Look through the keyboard accessibility settings, if something was accidentally turned on, it wasn't that I could find.
    • Try different USB-ports, both on MOBO and Chassi-ports.
    • I even contacted Windows support about it, but I assume it was an AI agent seeing as it didn't recognize my messages and literally said: "I have not received a response from you, I am canceling your support errand."

    I have no idea what caused this, it just kind of happened when I was gaming, and I have yet been able to get it back to normal.

    I appreciate any help that you can give, thanks in advance!

    EDIT: I even tried to see if Windows would register the key combination when trying to bind something in settings, so I tried biding the "Open Xbox Game Bar", but even Windows didn't register the keypresses. Worth mentioning, that the Keyboard RGB recognizes that I pressed a keyboard button as it lights up.

    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.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

  3. Left CTRL key only works together with the left SHIFT key

    Hello,

    Starting from today while I was using FL Studio to copy some musical notes I noticed Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V weren't working

    I've opened the on-screen keyboard in order to check if the left CTRL key was working and pressing it alone doesn't show any input.

    But. when I tried to first press the left SHIFT key holding it and then pressing the left CTRL key together. both keys showed input. (right CTRL key works fine)

    Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

    I've already tried to uninstall the keyboard's driver and then restarting the PC but it didn't work.

    Best regards,

    Me
