  3. How to fix CTRL+S shortcut key?

    You can try these steps to fix your CTRL+S shortcut key issue:

    1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.
    2. Type services.msc and press Enter.
    3. Right-click Human Interface Device Service > Start. If it is already running, click Restart. Right-click it again and select Refresh.
    4. Make Your Keyboard Shortcuts Work Again The biggest challenge to getting the keyboard shortcuts working again is to identify the cause.

    If that doesn’t work, you can try resetting your keyboard shortcuts by following these steps:

    1. Press Windows logo key + I simultaneously to open Windows Settings, then select Apps.
    2. Under Apps & features, scroll down the page and click Snip & Sketch. Then select Advanced options.
    3. Click Reset. When prompted to confirm your action, click Reset again.
    4. Once the process is finished, restart your computer and check if the issue has been resolved.

    I hope this helps!
