![]() It took some time for the logoff/lock/switch screen to show op => Windoze does perform a light UI-related reset on Ctrl-Alt-Del and something was stuck or slightly messed up. The Ctrl+ Alt+ Del and then Esc (to simply go back - the whole point is not to interrupt your running stuff). On-Screen keyboard ( Win+ R OSK Enter) served as a diagnostic tool, showing that Ctrl-N was really not getting propagated but that a browser (or editor) does receive Ctrl-N from OSK. Only Ctrl-N didn't work and it looked like a text editor glitch, but then it didn't work in browsers and the only "solution" visible on the net was ridiculous (reinstall driver - yeah right :-). I came across an equivalent problem today but "Windows Key" was not affected which made it harder to find a solution. I also wonder, because the Win key can mess up a game pretty badly, maybe some games have ways of disabling that while they are running? Or disable the driver, without disabling your last input device, and test again. Do you have any AutoHotkey scripts running? Do you have any shortcut programs running, like special launcher software, or special mouse or keyboard or touch drivers/software? Temporarily stop that software in Task Manager, and/or temporarily stop the services that it runs on. Data: 0 to disable restriction, or 1 to enable restrictionĬheck for other software running.Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.Then check this key as well while you're in there: That value disables it, you would remove the key completely to have it work normal. ![]() Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout.Instead, go halfway down the page to "Let me fix it myself", run regedit, and see if the following key exists there: Go to Microsoft KB216893, and do NOT run the "fix it" (XP). Hit Shift 5 times quickly - is Sticky Keys working? ![]() Now check Ctrl+ Alt+ Del, which should bring up the Windows Security screen (menu), and Ctrl+ Shift+ Esc, to open Task Manager - are they working (malware test)? Quick check Win+ Tab, Win+ P, Win+ L and Win+ R - are they also not working?
