Turn caps lock on and press shift f. Interesting proposition. I'll try that if it goes wrong again. The act of reporting it in here seems to have prevented it from doing so. |

I don't have that, but I have had periods where ctrl-C didnt' copy anything to the clipboard, even though c itself worked and ctrl worked with other letters like A. I would somettimes select what I wanted and press the c a half dozen times, sometimes pounding it, and maybe that helped, I forget. I didnt' change the keyboard for the same reason you haven't, though our situations are different. C almost always worked for me, and almost never works for you. And because the problem was somewhat intermittent. After a month or so the problem went away for about a year. Then it came back for a week or two. Now it's been gone for a year or more. Oh, and despite how annoying those two guys are, your vulgar language is a real turn-off. Maybe you're young and you don't know how vulgar you sound. |

I used to have that problem, although quite rarely, perhaps 1 in 10 times I copied, it didn't, which meant I pasted in the previous clipboard entry instead.

They're just words. |

The reason could be that you must have used the remapper (whatever this crap may be) to **** up the brand new Windows 10 machine. Why would somebody have that crap on their machine unless they used it once to see what it can do. Don't you get this idiot? What else can people suggest to a complete idiot. -- With over 950 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

Turn caps lock on and press shift f. That worked. Explain how I can now find out what the original problem is. Caps lock off: The F on its own fails. Shift F produces a capital F. Caps lock on: The F on its own fails. Shift F produces a lower case F. Just tried another keyboard and the exact same problem arises. Something in software is preventing the transmission of the f key without a shift. |
