    Connect another functional keyboard and check if it is ok, if it means that it is damaged.

    are there any specific pc keyboard settings, key settings?

    You haven't even written what specific keyboard model it is. Some manufacturers of input devices, e.g. the keyboard, provide software for changing the operation of the keys - you probably know something about it, as you have mute on the numeric keypad. So you can check the settings in this software. Another option is if someone wrote the keyboard damage. Still another option is to interpret the keys in the operating system - check by connecting the keyboard to another computer or via live linux.

    Run LiveCD with Linux unless you can. I have the impression that someone has to come to you and do it for you because you can't, you can't, you don't want ... I understand that this is a PC from the prison library and you are embedded and hence the limited possibilities ...

    Maybe try, in the attachment I will give you the program. Unpack and run it. This program shows what key you press. Press the one above the numeric one from mute and look what will appear. Then press problematic ctrl and see if it's the same or different.

    Well, it's starting to look weird like a keyboard error.
    Check on this Linux it doesn't require any installation.

    Please do not get used to it!
    Just patiently search the so-called keyboard shortcuts and the case. Sometimes the graphics card software provides "default" shortcuts for combinations with specific keys. For example - ctrl + a + v = video playback. Recently it was - watching amateur video. I know people turn off very quickly. I try to be SUBSTANTIVE ...

Topic summary

A user reported an issue with their Natec keyboard, specifically that the left Ctrl key mutes the sound on their Windows 7 system. Despite disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard and rebooting the computer, the problem persisted. Suggestions included testing with another keyboard, checking for specific keyboard settings or software provided by the manufacturer, and using a LiveCD with Linux to diagnose the issue. The user identified their keyboard model as Natec Keyboard STARFISH 2 Slim Black USB but was unable to connect it to another computer for testing. Eventually, the user noted that the issue resolved itself, possibly related to their frequent use of the Ctrl key for copy-paste functions.
