  sticky key is off. but the problem is still there. I tried HP idea, which is to uninstall the driver, and let windows install new drivers, but still the same . I did system restore, still e same.. Is it my Ctrl key faulty?

  Plug in a keyboard and try. If problem persists... it's the system else it is your laptop keyboard.

  OK

  You don't need to repeat yourself so many times.

  HP laptops usually have 2 Ctrl keys. Can you try the other one if available and see if it's working.

  Let's see if Windows is responding correctly.

  Open Control Panel > Ease of Access

  Click on Start On-Screen Keyboard

  Highlight any block of text, click on Ctrl, followed by C

  Paste into any text editor

  Does it work?

  Also try this -

  Highlight any block of text, right click and select Copy. Paste the text into a text editor. See if it works.

  maybe its due to the driver mismatch the keyboard layout/type
