    There is an issue with the undo action. I'm not sure when or how, but at some point, pressing the left Control and Z key stopped working to make the undo action. I can't use this combination outside or inside the programs, such as MS Paint, MS Edge, and others.Using left Control with other keys as 'A', 'C', 'V', these combinations work as intended. But with the Z key it won't.Using right Control with Z actually works for some reason, but I prefer using the left Control key.I already tested virtual keyboards to see if maybe it was an issue related to hardware. And all the key combinations can b

    Xbox One Controller on PC Z axis and Z rotation.

    Hey there,

    I have a little problem. Recently, my Xbox One controller which I use for playing PC games started having problems. When I try to play games, lots of malfunctions happen. "Dragon Age: Inquisition" crashes at startup and corrupts my latest savefile, and "Ori
    and the Blind Forest" makes my character walk to the left forever, as if my left stick were stuck (and it's not). The source of the problem lies in the controllers Z axis: there used to be just one, but it was split into a Z axis and Z rotation in some driver
    update. When I look up the controller properties on my PC, both the axis and rotation start at 0% and rise to 100% when I press the shoulder trigger buttons. This causes detection problems in games that are programmed to recognize one Z axis sitting at 50%
    and going to 0 and 100% when pressing the left and right triggers respectively.

    I actually can solve this problem by following these steps:

    1.) Open Device Manager

    2.) Right Click "Xbox One Controller"

    3.) Select Update Driver Software

    4.) Browse

    5.) Let me pick

    6.) "Microsoft Xbox One controller"


    This 'merges' the Z axis and Z rotation back into one. However, now comes the real problem: I recently bought a Wireless Adapter to connect my controller to my Windows 10 PC wirelessly, and I
    can't change the driver of the adapter. The adapter displays the same problems revolving the Z split (once again an axis and a rotation).

    I tried contacting Live Chat Support for Xbox, who sent me to Live Chat for Microsoft, who after two hours sent me back again to Live Chat Support for Xbox. Sigh. The guy at Xbox Live Chat then sent me here. So, I really, really hope someone here would be
    able to help me! I would truly appreciate that.

    Control-Z Not Working System-Wide

    Thank you @StefanoTamiotti and @Vijay_Verma
    for your replies. The good news is that my problem has been resolved! The bad news is that I have no idea how or why, or who to credit with the answer.

    I started by running an SFC scan, and got a clean bill of health ("Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"). Then I tried the online keyboard tester, which showed that my Z key and Control key were both working fine. Then I tried
    to use CTRL-Z using the on-screen keyboard, which I figured would not work since it appeared that my hardware keys were working fine. But surprisingly, the OSK triggered undo just fine. So then, thoroughly confused, I tried CTRL-Z using my physical keyboard,
    and it also worked fine!

    So somehow, one of those steps solved the problem, but I have no idea which one. Thank you both for your quick replies and suggestions!
