Windows 10 ctrl c ctrl v not working

[Robstercraw]

problems I have are my ctrl c and v aren't working. I've tried everything to fix it but nothing works. Second, my computer shuts down but fans stay running sometimes. Usually, after it's been idle for a long time, like in the morning when I get back on it. Usually, it reboots after it does this but sometimes it doesn't.

To troubleshoot the issue with your Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keys not working and the fans running after shutdown, here are some steps you can take:

Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V Not Working:​

1. Check Keyboard Settings:
   • Ensure the physical keys are working correctly. Test in different applications to rule out software issues.
   • Try using an external keyboard to see if the issue persists.
   []Check Sticky Keys:
   • Disable Sticky Keys by pressing Shift five times to rule out any interference with key combinations.
   []Update Keyboard Drivers:
   • Go to Device Manager, locate your keyboard, right-click, and select "Update driver."
   • You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard drivers.
   []Check for Viruses/Malware:
   • Run a full system scan using Windows Defender or third-party antivirus software to rule out the possibility of malware affecting your keyboard functions.

     Fans Running After Shutdown:​

   []Update BIOS/UEFI:
   • Check if there are any BIOS/UEFI updates available for your motherboard. Updating BIOS can sometimes resolve hardware-related issues like fans running after shutdown.
   []Power/Shutdown Settings:
   • Check Windows Power Settings to see if there are any settings causing abnormal shutdown behavior.
   • Look for "Fast Startup" and disable it: Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings > Choose what the power buttons do.
   []Check for Faulty Hardware:
   • Ensure the power supply is functioning correctly. Issues with the power supply can lead to fans running abnormally.
   • Check for loose connections or damaged components.
2. Monitor Shutdown Process:
   • Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, click the power button in the bottom right, then press and hold Shift while clicking "Shutdown" to force a full shut down.

     Additional Steps:​

     • Run Windows Troubleshooters for keyboard and power issues: Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
     • Review recent software changes or updates that might have led to these issues.
     • Check Event Viewer for any error logs related to shutdown issues.
     If the problems persist after these steps, consider reaching out to a technician for further hardware diagnostics and repairs.
