Ctrl key not working: producing two beeps, strange behaviour
Hi
Suddenly my Ctrl key is behaving strangely. I found out while trying to use the Ctrl+c combination. On pressing Ctrl I get two short beeps and strange behaviour: in Chrome browser it will jump to previous tab, in Word it will insert a new column. I have tried all the obvious - check keyboard set up, restart, check accessibility settings, etc. I have run Malware Bytes. My Kaspersky anti virus flags nothing.
This represents a real problem for me as my work involves Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v the whole time.
At the same time I noticed that the Windows taskbar is no longer fully functional: if I type in say, "uninstall" it'll bring up "Change or remove a program" and if I click on that nothing happens...
Thank you in advance for any help
