    I'm unable to use my combination keys.


    I'm unable to use my combination keys. Ctrl+A works but Ctrl+X or C or V does not work. The letter x, c, v works alone but not in combination with Ctrl. Was using windows 11 and I did a complete reset of the laptop but it was still the same. I installed windows 10 and issue was still the same. Can anyone help?

    :)

    Key combinations not working

    Thanks for following up. In here, you can find the list of all the keyboard shortcuts in Windows 10. Check it out and
    see which key combinations are still working on Windows 10, and which are not.

    We also tested on our end and only the Alt + F and Alt + P are working fine, and this is on a PC that is on the Fall Creators Update. May we suggest that you update your operating system to 1709 and see if the key combinations will work.

    We'll keep an eye out to your response.

    Key combinations confusion

    Maybe it would help if I illustrate my question with an example.

    Currently, if I press Win+Up on my laptop, a MaximizeWindow is executed. However:

    • If I execute Win+/ (to display all key combinations involving the Windows key), Win+Up says "No action" (which isn't correct, because it executes MaximizeWindow).
    • And, if I go into PowerToys / Keyboard Manager, Keyboard Manager is enabled but there are no key combinations listed under either Remap A Key or Remap a shortcut.
    So, how was Win+Up remapped? And where should I remap it, if I want it to do something else? Any why isn't it showing up when I press Win+/?
