Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-V are not working in Windows 7
It looks like it's affecting every application. I have tried uninstalling the keyboard driver as follows:
- From the Start Menu, I searched for Device Manager, and opened it.
- In Device Manager I navigated to the Keyboard Standard 101/102, and uninstalled the driver
- Rebooted.

Is it possible that your Control key is broken? Have you tried both Control keys (left and right)?

Yes, with both, I have the same behavior

Try running the on-screen-keyboard. (1) Press your “Ctrl” keys, and see whether they light up in the screen image. (2) Use the on-screen-keyboard program to generate Ctrl-key combinations, and see what they do. Please do not respond in comments; edit your question to make it clearer and more complete.

The following seems to have fixed it:
(The steps 1, and 2 I described when I posted the issue)
- I shut down my laptop.
- I removed the battery, and after unplugging my laptop, I waited 15s.
- After rebooting, all ctrl+? combinations started working again...
Thanks!
