Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V stopped working
After working perfectly for years usin my Lenovo laptop, now when I try to copy or paste using the keyboard shortcuts they do not work. For instance Ctrl +V ends up simply as "v" not what I was...

Have a look at the Lenovo app. Per default the Fn and Ctrl keys are switched.
Below clip is in Danish, but you get the idea. Set the Switch Fn / Ctrl key to off, and Ctrl A etc. works like a charm. Of course you can also leave it on, using the Fn key instead of the Ctrl key. For me handling more PCs that was too awkward, though.

The ctrl+c/crtl+x/crtl+v shortcuts on Lenovo PC used to work very well until recently. Now everytime I try it I consistently and annoyingly get 'c', 'x', or 'v' on the first try, though it works on the second try. However, switching to Fn+c/x/v works wonderfully.
