Windows 10: Can't use Ctrl+C after updating to Windows 11

Discus and support Can't use Ctrl+C after updating to Windows 11 in Windows 10 Software and Apps to solve the problem; Finally decided to update and my ctrl+c no longer works. The buttons themselves still work and if I right click and copy that way I can still paste... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Software and Apps' started by Roscoe Gordon, Feb 25, 2025 at 3:42 AM.

  1. Can't use Ctrl+C after updating to Windows 11


    Finally decided to update and my ctrl+c no longer works. The buttons themselves still work and if I right click and copy that way I can still paste with ctrl+v. I no longer have access to my windows 10 save but when I did revert back to it I also regained the use of my ctrl+c shortcut. This is such an odd thing to break with this update.

    :)

  2. ctrl c not working in windows 11

    ctrl + c not working in windows 11 but my ctrl + v is working. and my keyboard keys is still working. What do I do?
     
  3. some control keys (CTRL + c,v,t) not working...

    Hi,

    Some of ctrl shortcuts with left control are suddenly not working anymore, like ctrl v,c,t but they are working with the right control key. They were working a few days ago. Also, ctrl z and x are working (with both left and right) so left control key
    IS working physically (on-screen keyboard also show the key being pressed).

    A few random keys with left shift are also not responding like shift+5 and some others (seems absolutely random). Currently using Windows 10.

    What I already tried (and failed, obviously):

    • troubleshooter for keyboard
    • checked it in Safe Mode
    • uninstalled the keyboard driver (from device manager) and restart the computer
    • updating the keyboard driver (from device manager)
    • updating windows
    • signing out and creating a new account
    • resetting the BIOS to default
    • reinstalled the whole windows!!
    Although the shortcuts are working with an external keyboard.

    Please Help me I have tried many things but none are working... And I can't keep using the external keyboard, and these shortcuts not working is super frustrating!!! HELP!!!

    Ctrl keys not working, eg, Ctrl C, Ctrl V Windows 11

    Thank you for your reply.

    Your suggestion did work immediately after I followed your instructions for the first Ctrl C, marking text and Ctrl V - however it is not working now
