Windows 10: New laptop, Windows 11. Every time I press the ctrl key a different function occurs...

How can I fix this problem? I've had the computer for a few weeks and have tried restarting and updating drivers. I have disabled sticky keys. I cannot use any CTRL+shortcuts. Other shortcuts alt+tab work just fine.

Ctrl key automatically zoom in when pressed at times

Hello,

There are a lot of possible causes why you're having a missed function on your Ctrl key. This issue may be related to a system corruption or all of your drivers needs to be updated. For better assistance, we'd like to ask the following:

• When did you perfectly use the Ctrl key?
• Did you make any changes to your computer before experiencing this issue?
• Are you using a PC or a laptop? Can you tell us the make and model of your device?

Meanwhile, we recommend updating all of the drivers installed on your computer. To do so, follow the steps on this
link.

We are looking forward to your reply.

 

Computer acts as if the CTRL key is pressed down when it is not

Hey guys,

I've been experiencing an issue with my pc (Windows 10) recently where my computer acts as if the CTRL key is pressed down when in fact it is not. For example, typing "w" in a web browser executes the CTRL + w command, and so forth. Viewing the onscreen
keyboard confirms that the CTRL key is pressed down. Here are the things I have tried to fix this:

• press both CTRL keys for 15 seconds
• turn off sticky keys, toggle keys, and filter keys
• switch out my keyboard
• plug my keyboard into a different usb port
• uninstall and reinstall my keyboard drivers
• hold CTRL + Shift for 15 seconds
• reinstall windows
• run system file checker

The problem seems to be completely random, but occurs mostly when I'm running a program other than a web browser, such as a game. Any help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Ctrl key on my keyboard goes into "sleep periods" and is not registered the first time I press it

Hello, I've had an ongoing problem with my Ctrl key for about 2 years:

• Windows sometimes does not register when I've pressed the Ctrl key for keyboard shortcuts (copy, paste, etc.)
  
  • For example, pressing Ctrl+C will type the letter "c" instead of copying text
    
• However, if I pressed the Ctrl key in the past 5-10 minutes, then it will work just fine
  
• In other words, there are "sleep periods" during which my Ctrl key doesn't work
  
• If I press the Ctrl key during a sleep period, Windows will not detect that the Ctrl key was pressed but will instead switch from a sleep period into a "wake period"
  
• These wake periods last roughly 5-10 minutes, after which it will automatically switch back into a sleep period
  
• Important: I regularly use this keyboard across 3 different computers, and I only have this problem on 1 of the 3 computers
  

How do I fix this so that Windows will always register the Ctrl key when pressed? (Thank you in advance!)
