    Keyboard was spamming before tried someones solution works but Windows, Ctrl, and Alt keys...

    Keyboard - ctrl keys stop working (until reset via key combinations)

    Greetings,

    I have been experiencing issues with my laptop keyboard's keys - both the left and the right "ctrl" keys. They are not responsive, and needlessly to say it is making the work on the laptop without an external keyboard quite difficult.

    The ctrl keys on an external keyboard (as well as the on-screen one) work just fine.

    The only solutions I have found that yield some success is to either:

    1. Pressing both ctrl keys simultaneously for 10 seconds

    2. Pressing Alt + Fn + Ctrl

    but those solutions work for a very short time, and then the ctrl keys are dead again.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
