Windows 10: Windows 10 Ctrl Key Spam Even With No Keyboard

I've been having an issue that I can't seem to fix. My computer randomly spams the ctrl key and, from what I gather, most likely the + and - keys as well . It is strangely more active when waking the computer up in the morning. It will spam nonstop , causing whatever window I'm on to zoom in and out

Ctrl key on German QWERTZ keyboard?

A while ago my dad bought a netbook online from Germany, we found out it did not have a QWERTY but a QWERTZ keyboard

We are not used to use this keyboard, where are the Ctrl keys, to copy/paste and such?
This keyboard has other keys that we never had/used before like alt-gr and str*Confused

Thanks!
