My Keystroke Commands Do Not Work

All my keystroke commands in Windows 10 do not work i.e., Ctrl+c,+v+x and on and on. How do I get them back or are they gone for good? Please advise. Thank you.

Well, sadly, you didn't tell us anything about your this computer - including even if it is a PC or a notebook.

Do these keyboard shortcuts not work in any program, or just one or two? That is, have you tried them in Notepad and Word?

Have you tried a different keyboard?

You say "on and on" but you need to be more specific because those 3 particular keyboard commands deal specifically with the "clipboard" functions to copy, paste and delete text. So what other shortcuts don't work?

Some keyboard have different functions for different keys which are activated when another key is pressed. For example, on my keyboard, I have a F-Lock key that changes the full set of function keys to do different things. Make sure you didn't accidentally pretty that.

 

So sorry. It is a desktop PcCowboy. These commands worked in all my programs such as save, cut, copy, paste. I was not aware of a key that would change my command keys. Can I correct it if that is the case? Thank you. Oh by the way I cannot get them to work in most of my programs. I have Windows 10.

 

It depends on your specific keyboard. As I said above, some keyboards have this feature, some don't. If yours does, then it is likely you pressed it by accident. To change it back, you would have to press it again.

If your keyboard does not have this feature, then something else is wrong.

Have you rebooted?

 

How do I find out what or where this feature is, please?thank you

 

You have to look at your keyboard or in your manual - and that is IF it has that feature.

If you highlight a word with your mouse, then right click on the, can you copy, cut and paste then?
