CTRL+F is not working (windows 10)

[Myntekt]

This has been like that for a really long time. I think it was worked the other day but it's not working again so I might have been dreaming or something.

What can I do? All the other shortcuts work. It's system wide. No viruses on my PC.

Ctrl + F is for find on webpages, Word, Excel, that's about it AFAIK.

Assuming this is a desktop PC, trying a different Kb would seem the obvious thing to try -- just a borrowed or cheap Kb is all you need to test for faulty Kb - - - if test proves it's your Kb that's faulty, buy a new one.

Well it doesn't work at any of those..

The on-screen keyboard CTR-F doesn't work either. CTRL+C/V works though.

It doesn't work again. Weird. That solution does not seem to be permanent..

If it is not permanent then I would suspect some other app, process, or service is undoing the switch.

Take a look at all optional programs being started at boot time. Disable and try again.

The start adding the programs back one by one until CRTL+F fails. That process may identify the culprilt.
