Windows 10: I noticed that for some reason CTRL blocks my SPACEBAR

While playing Minecraft after a pretty long while I wanted to sprint jump but no dice, holding down STRG blocks spacebar????Keep in mind I did not change the Keyboard and was able to do this before. So I'm guessing some Windows update is causing this issue, or maybe Minecraft or drivers who knows?Keyboard tester used: https://keyboard-test.space/Things I've tried:1. Does it happen elsewhere and not just in Minecraft? Yes! Notes/google search bar/ Discord if it has text input it has this issue.2. Keyboard tester! Are any Keys broken? No broken keys as expected by my HyperX Alloy FPS RGB I can

:)

 

Spacebar doesn't work unless I hold down ctrl.

Spacebar, ctrl, alt, and the windows key don't work properly. I struggle with alt-tabbing and copying and pasting with ctrl doesn't work either. I have tried uninstalling the keyboard from device manager already.

 

Disable Spacebar to Sign In with Windows Hello

Hi Paulo

Thanks for helping out here with this issue.
I did try the steps listed on the site you suggested. No luck, unfortunately.

The Logitech Brio can log in w Windwos Hello. But, the spacebar is still an issue. The built-in camera has the below issue FYI

Note: UPDATE troubleshooting

I have tried to isolate the issue and just use the built-in HP camera. Now I get "Couldn't turn on camera. Please sign-in with your PIN"

I have also tried ALL of these steps as well. And Biometrics is enabled on the device and allows users to log-in using Biomtrics

Fix- Windows Hello couldn’t turn camera ON problem in Windows 10 / 11 (thegeekpage.com)

I'm wondering if we can fix the missing camera issue if that would fix the first issue with the spacebar. Just a thought

 

Windows Key + Spacebar not working

Kathleen

Tried using SFC as you suggested and it went through all the steps successfully, but Windows key + Spacebar still doesn't work.

Looked at the link you gave and I see that one of the posts with a similar problem was using an HP Pavilion - same as me.

But it was the keyboard shortcut was working till the upgrade.

I've not tried Andre's suggestion yet.
