Both Ctrl keys are not working on the laptop

I have a Lenovo ideapad 700 and both of my ctrl keys are not working.
Up to this point, I have tried for possible solutions. It can not be that both of my ctrl keys are broken.

I have checked updating, uninstalling the keyboard drivers, checking going on safe mode and seeing if it works there, without any success. Checked the following link HERE, or here, here

I have checked also similar questions here, without any success.

this fact that my ctrl A,C,V are not working, it is making my workflow very difficult

Edit: Swap function enabled scenario:

"1-Open system CONTROL PANEL. If it does not appear as shown below, make sure VIEW BY is set to SMALL ICONS or LARGE ICONS. You could also try searching for KEYBOARD in search box. Windows 10 Control Panel with Small Icons Displayed, Screen capture When your keyboard shortcut copy past undo redo keys do not work try to check this setting

2-Select your manufacturers keyboard manager. Note this is a different place than just the KEYBOARD. In my control panel, it says LENOVO – KEYBOARD MANAGER.

3-Select Fn key and Ctrl key swap tab. Then verify Swap Function is turned OFF. Mine was turned ON by default, which meant the keys were reversed on my keyboard and I didn’t even know it!" From here

Same idea as "Señor CMasMas". I'd recommend using puppy linux as a live test distro. It has a lot of drivers and tools already available.

Then, have you tried to uninstall the keyboard driver? if not >> try this
