    Both CTRL keys not working

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    • Do you get any error message?
    • Did you make any changes in your computer prior to this issue?

    I appreciate the troubleshooting steps you have tried to resolve the issue.

    Follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    Method 1: To check if Ctrl keys work in Onscreen keyboard.

    • Press Windows Key + R and type osk and hit Enter.
    Try using Ctrl keys and check if that helps.

    if you still face the issue, try Method 2.

    Method 2: Run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with the Bluetooth adapter. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, select
      Control panel.


    • Change the view by option on the top right to
      Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    • Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.

  3. Ctrl + D stopped working

    In photoshop and Autodesk, both of which I use a LOT, the combination of Ctl+ D is vital. All of a sudden Ctl+ D just stopped working in both. I checked others, like Ctrl +S, etc., and they all worked fine, so I thought there was something wrong with my keyboard. I replaced that keyboard with a brand new one, and it worked fine for about three days, and now all of a sudden Ctl+ D doesn't work anymore!! I now know for an absolute fact that it's not a keyboard issue. Why so specific an issue?

    F5 and Ctrl D not working

    F5 key suddenly not working

    So.. I got a curios problem.

    My F5 key doesn't work any more. Or does it?

    I have a Logitech G910 Keyboard.

    When hitting the key alone. Nothing happens. Neither LGS (Logitech Gaming Software - aka the driver software) nor Windows or any other program seem to notice.

    But when using a key combination, the keystroke is noticed. For example in Firefox: Ctrl + F5 is working.

    I tried the F5 on this keyboard on different devices and on all the others it seems to work just fine.

    Does anyone know what can cause such problem?

    I am currently on Windows 10 1809.
