ctrl c ctrl v not working.

[itskenneth]

Recently i've encountered this problem with CTRL C and V unable to copy or paste anything anywhere. Able to do so with mouse where right click copy paste works for that. CTRL F works which means ctrl button is functional. i've tried restoring to an earlier restore point, ran SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker but no errors. I still can't solve this problem.. I've clicked on all the relevant search results from google but none works for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do CTRL-C , that should place something in clipboard. Then paste by using mouse right click->paste. Works?

Right click and select copy. Then paste using CTRL-V. Works?

 

[Kaktussoft]

In command prompt:

dir/s  c:\

This produces a lot of output. Press CTRL-C after a few seconds. Command will be aborted so output should stop. Works?

Press CTRL-V. This should put ^V on your screen. Works?

Right click->copy. This copies something to clipboard. That works as you said
Now copy something else using CTRL-C. Now right click->paste. Does it paste nothing, or does it paste what you copied by Right click->copy?

in command prompt press ctrl-v nothing happens?

also try ^Q^W^E^R^T^Y^U^O^P^A^D^F^G^K^L^Z^X^B^N
So ctrl+Q, ctrl+W etc. Works?

CTRl-h =backspace
ctrl-m=return
ctrl-s=pause

Which don't work?
in notepad ctrl-i (=tab) and ctrl-j(=new line)

 

[itskenneth]

ctrl-q does nothing,
ctrl-w closes the tab
ctrl-e brings me to the search bar
ctrl-r refreshes the tab
ctrl-t,y,i does nothing
ctrl-u opens this view-source:chrome://newtab/
ctrl-o opens the open file window
ctrl-p prompts to print
ctrl-h opens history tab
ctrl-s opens save as

and yes in command promt pressing cont-v does nothing

[itskenneth]

oh dear, i get what you mean. only ^Q^W^E^R^U^O^P^A^D^F^G^H(backspace)^K^L^B^N works.

 

[itskenneth]

^Q^W^E^R^U^O^P^A^D^F^G^K^L^B^N works
but ^S^C^V^T^Y^I^J^Z^X^M does nothing.
^H does backspace

please confirm.
You have a normal QWERTY keyboard? on bottom row=zxcvbnm,top row=qwertyuiop?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Is this a external usb keyboard, or laptop built-in?

 

[edwar]

Open Notepad and type something with the c/C key. Does the c/C key work?


It's the keyboard. Try a different one. If a built in notebook keyboard attach a external USB. If it's an external try a different one. The keyboard is faulty.

Test keyboard on another pc... but that's to difficult.
Attach another keyboard (usb). Same problem? It's most likely a faulty laptop keyboard.

What brand and type laptop is it?
