    Maybe, if it's acting like the CTRL key is pressed, then that specific key is broken.

    Try removing your CTRL key (or keys, if your laptop has two) and cleaning it, making sure that you replace them correctly.
    Perhaps that could help.

    Curious, how are you typing this? Are you using a different computer, onscreen keyboard, or usb keyboard?

    Well, I assumed that it was related.

    I'm not sure how your laptop works, but I know that starting up some computers, holding different buttons will open different ways. For example, Holding F2 goes to safe mode, holding F11 goes to BIOS menu, holding Windows button goes to Windows.
    How exactly does it start up (or try to start up) without holding the windows button?

    Anyway, if it's not related, you would be better off solving one problem at a time. If you can start with the easiest problem first, it could make solving the bigger problems easier.
