my question is, how do i make CTRL related hoy keys (CTRL+V,CTRL+C,CTRL+A,CTRL+SPACE,CTRL...) in programs, in my case, a Game called Minecraft, I would need ctrl+ A,C,V to copy and paste, i can use it in chrome, but not in minecraft, holding CTRL +W should make you "run" in the game but it dose nothing ( Basically anything that needs CTRL doesn't work ) , and the lock key for different languages (CTRL+SPACE) doesn't work, any one know how to fix it (I already uninstalled the keyboard in operators already, and it didn't help ), if any one know how, i would be ever so Grateful, as i am a map creator and would really need it too work.

@ItsHofer Did you check if the issue occurs on an external keyboard?
While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:
I recommend you attempt the below steps to identify the cause of the failure and resolve it accordingly:
- Try changing the keyboard layout/language and check if it works: Click here for steps.
- Clean the keyboard with compressed air (blow compressed air in the gaps between keys). This removes some lint and dust.
- Shut down the laptop, remove the battery and cable for a moment, press and hold the start button for 60 seconds
- Replace the battery, restart the notebook,
- if the issue persists, perform an interactive hardware test on the keyboard using the steps mentioned on this link: Click here (look under "Running Component Tests > Keyboard test").
