I deleted CTF Loader ctfmon.exe
So i noticed i was having problems with my computer.. some keys would not register until i pressed at least three or four times. Namely the N and " . " keys ..
Seems to be working okay now. But during my quest to fix that, i deleted something called CTF Loader i think its called ..
It was in the task manager, and it stood out as something i didnt notice before, figured it was a virus, and deleted it . In frustration, i called up a app i often use called " Everything " typed in CTF Loader, or anything related to that file, and just managed to delete everything .. It wasnt even related to my problem i think.
Now the problem i think resulted from that, is i cant type into the SEARCH BAR for Cortana Win 10 .
What actually solved at least the problem with the N key, was i changed something in the registry having to do with Number lock, which is repurposed to the N key on this particular keyboard i use called
" Matias Mini Quiet Pro Keyboard ". It was causing some conflict .
I also recently deleted some device drivers, trying to fix the "." key, and other things . So the " . " still takes time to register. I've exhausted all the menu options i have access for normal users .
How do i fix this ; so that i can type into Search in Win 10 again ? Reinstalling windows 10 is not possible at this time. I have accumulated a lot of files for my design work .So much that i need to buy a extra hard drive to store that before i can re install windows 10 ?
Any advice about the keyboard issue is welcome too, because that is still a problem sometimes, it resurfaces then goes away .
