    from time to time "Ctrl+C" fails to work


    I've tested and believe that my keyboard is fine. However, from time to time, as I hit on shortcut "Ctrl+C" in order to copy a line of text, it just doesn't copy. it doesn't always happen, but quite often. I've been hitting keyboards for 20+ years I think I should be hitting this shortcut very sophisticate
    Do you think it's the system problem? Or Memory problem of my hardware?

    :)

  2. CTRL+C/X/V Not working from time to time  "Ctrl+C" fails to work :(

    Hi, I hope someone can help me out.

    A few days ago, some of my keyboard shortcuts stopped working for me. As far as I know, the only shortcuts that refuse to work with me are:

    • ctrl + c
    • ctrl + x
    • ctrl + v
    • ctrl + z
    • ctrl + t (this one used to work until literally just now while I was testing it)
    I don't think that this is a hardware issue because (oddly enough), the following keyboard shortcuts DO work.

    • ctrl + w
    • ctrl + n
    • ctrl + p
    • ctrl + d
    I have already uninstalled my keyboard drivers and restarted my computer several times.

    This problem affects me across Firefox, Chrome, Line...

    The only thing of note that happened to me before this started happening is that Firefox updated and kicked my old data into a folder on my desktop.

    I desperately hope that someone can help me out; my googling so far has been fruitless.

    Windows fails to synchronize with internet time - it times out

    Hi,

    You might have a different Date and Time configuration that's why your Windows fails to synchronize with
    Internet Time. To have this checked, try to change the server in your Internet Time Settings by following the steps below:

    • Go to Control Panel > Date and Time.
    • Click on the Internet Time tab: then, click on Change settings.
    • Try to change or choose the Server, tick on the Update now, and click on
      OK.

    Let us know the results after following the resolution provided.

    Changing Time Format

    Hi Mary,

    There's a possibility that the set up time format in your computer Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is military time. To have this checked, you can try to reset the time of your computer through Control Panel. See the steps below on how to do
    so:

    • Open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region >
      Change date, time, or number formats. This would open the
      Region
      window.
    • From there, click on Additional settings at the bottom part. It will open the Customize Format.
    • Click Reset; then, OK.

    The steps should work; however, if not, we suggest that you contact manufacturer and have the BIOS time checked.

    Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions .
