• What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

Any shortcut to work with CTRL on base computer

• What actually happened instead?

CTRL button disabled system wide.

This may be a bit of a long shot, but can you please upgrade to the latest version of Git to see if that helps? Also, a few questions regarding this statement:

No commands, just the software for the CTRL button seems to be disabled. neither button registers even using the OSK unless I have: been gaming for a while, or been doing work for a while.

1. Do I understand correctly that the CTRL button does work with Git installed after you've been using the PC for some time?
2. I see that you said neither button registers - is there another button that is also failing when you install Git?

I think they're talking about left CTRL and right CTRL.
