    Ctrl+Shift+S now locks the computer


    I use Ctrl+Shift+S for years as a shortcut in Word for strikethrough. Yesterday, that shortcut started locking the computer. I have no idea why. I didn't install anything or mess with any Windows settings yesterday, nor can I find anything online about that shortcut locking the computer.

    Also, my computer has taken to locking by itself at random other times while I'm using it. I can't find out what causes this either, nor can I consistently reproduce anything that does it.

    A little help?

    Thanks.

    Check that your Caps Lock is not on.

    Both ways it does the same.

Hello, I am having a very strange behavior. When I press and hold the SHIFT key, it will not persist. For example, if I wanted to type a row of "*", I press the shift key and hold it, and it will type "*****888888". This happens on the laptop keyboard, a USB keyboard I attached, and the on screen...
Hi. In the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that using shift+del in text input areas, such as Notepad, OOo Writer, browser text fields, etc - pretty much anywhere I can input text - shift+del is acting identically to ctrl+v. I don't know why this is occurring and I want to make it stop. I have...
