Ctrl key not working

Post by Phil »

This is likely a Windows 10 issue. There must have been an automatic update. My F9 and others stopped working. I went into the BIOS to fix that problem. Now my Ctrl key isn't working. I can't do Ctrl + A to select all etc. I could use a little help.

Thanks,

Phil :?

Is your control key labeled with more than just Ctrl?

Question #2: And the label is? (I think I know the answer but let's continue playing "Twenty Questions".)

Ctrl

There are two the one on the left quiit. I have tried a number of fixes that I found through Google; pressing a variety of combinations of keys, uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard driver. No luck so far.

I would say your keyboard is failing. Have you tried another keyboard?

Fixed. I found the problem, I had to go into the BIOS and change the way the Fn and Ctrl keys operate.
