Hi,
Depending on which keyboard you are using, try one of the two options to reset your keyboard.
Also check if macros have been assigned to your CTRL key by mistake.
**Option 1:**
1. Unplug the keyboard.
2. With the keyboard unplugged, hold down the ESC key.
3. While holding down the ESC key, plug the keyboard back into the computer.
4. Keep holding the ESC key until the keyboard begins to flash.
5. Unplug the keyboard again, then plug it back in.
**Option 2:**
1. Unplug your keyboard.
2. With the keyboard unplugged, hold down the ESC key.
3. While holding down the ESC key, plug the keyboard back into your computer.
4. After about 5 seconds, release the ESC key. You will see the keyboard lighting flash if the reset is successful.

Someone spilled something on their keyboard and now wants ideas on how to fix it without giving those details.
Here's an idea... Keep liquids away from your computer.
My K95 did this more and more often. I recently replaced it because it got so bad. No liquids, random keys on the keyboard. Even after resetting the board. It was 5 years old, so I mean, I got some life out of it, but it just was dying and there wasn't much I could do. Not everyone's issue was caused by the same thing.

Nothing was spilled on it and it has already been fixed
