    Left SHIFT or CTRL not working when pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC


    Task manager only opens when I press the CTRL or SHIFT on the right side. When i press both L CTRL and L SHIFT it does not work, but if i press the ones on the right at least one of them it opens. I tested it with 3 different keyboards and its the same. I reinstalled windows and downloaded new drivers

    :)

    ctrl shift esc not working

    Hi Ethan,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Are you trying to access Task mange using Ctrl + Shift + Esc and it is not working?

    If that is what you are doing, if you press Ctrl + Alt + Del from the resulting screen can you open Task Manager?

    Or if you click your start button, then just type taskmgr can you open Task Manager from the resulting list?

    Left SHIFT or CTRL not working when pressing CTRL + SHIFT + ESC

    Ctrl Alt Del, Vista

    The whole Ctrl+Shift+Esc should be used to get that crazy screen with those options and Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring up TM.
