    After I press the space button, the cursor moves backwards and an empty space is created.

    Hi DaveM121,

    Thanks for your suggestion! But the Insert Key is not on.

    I also tried to insert new space in the middle of texts, I found the same behavior. In fact, I found a new issue, that is, my Left button simply adds a new empty space to the left of the cursor. Press the Left button again, then it inserts a new empty space
    to the right of the cursor. Keep pressing it, more empty spaces are inserted to the right. The cursor does not move any more. Right button works properly. So do the Up and Down button.

    WIn + space stopped working for me...

    While CTRL + win + Space or Shift + win + space do work. What is funny is that when i press win + space it works like I only pressed space.

    Win button is working for sure, checked it

    Languages list is showing when ctrl or shiift is additionally pressed

    Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    I apologize for not addressing you in a timely manner.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if that resolves the issue.

    Method 1: I suggest you to run System File Checker, which will check your system for missing, corrupt or damaged files and attempt to fix them.

    Please refer the article on “How to run System File Checker” and check if that helps.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files - Microsoft Support

    Method 2:

    DISM:

    If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:


    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.

    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

      DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth


    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
    Hope the information helps. Please keep us posted on Windows related queries and we will be happy to assist you further.
