Ctrl V Stopped Working (Tried Almost Everything!)
Hi, my Ctrl + V shortcut has suddenly stopped working. What works: L Ctrl: ✔ R Ctrl: ✔ C: ✔ V: ✔ L Ctrl + C: ✔ L Ctrl + V: ✖ R Ctrl + C: ✔ R Ctrl + V: ✔ L Ctrl + T, L Ctrl + R, L Ctrl + A, ...
I experience a similar issue on two different model Dell Inspiron laptops. On a rare occasion Ctrl +V will randomly work but mostly it doesn't. It only happens for pasting (copying/moving) files and folders. I can "cut" any file or folder but pasting fails and it even triggers the windows default beep.
The issue began almost immediately after a fresh install. Now that I think about it, I ran an advanced Windows Debloater utility on both Laptops and selected many annoying things to debloat. I didn't change anything that at least to me obviously points to the keyboard. I'm just putting this out there as a possibility worth investigating.
