  1. Why are ctrl delete and alt delete are swapped?


    I reformatted my SSD and got a fresh install of Win10 running last night. After installing my NVIDIA/Razer peripheral drivers (keyboard/mouse), I spent some minutes downloading my usual software from chromium edge and all of a sudden my alt+del shortcut to delete an entire word was swapped with ctrl+del. Now alt+del deletes the whole line and ctrl+del vice versa. How do I revert this? I can still alt tab normally so I know the keys are not swapped. What else could be causing this?



    Don't know if it's relevant but I'll put specs just in case:

    NVIDIA GTX 970

    i5-6600k

    16GB DDR4 2400mhz

    2 monitor display, 4k@60 and 1080p@144

    ctrl alt del to logon

    Hi Diane,

    Conflicts with the user account settings is one of the possible reasons why the secure sign-in option is enabled on your computer even if the box in the settings is not checked. I would suggest that you enable and disable the
    Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can follow the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + R.
    • Type control userpasswords2 or netplwiz and press the Enter key.
    • Click the Advanced tab.
    • Under Secure sign-in, check the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox.
    • Click Apply.
    • Restart your computer.
    • Open the same settings again and uncheck the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox and follow the
      steps 5 and 6.

    Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
