    Hi ChrisMonington,

    I see some in some cases this is related to the 'Displayswitch.exe' issue caused by a failed Windows update. Restoring the old file by downloading it off a trusted site can fix it.

    In other cases, there may be a broken .lnk file that has 'Ctrl+P' set as its shortcut key.

    The third case I've seen so far was related to 'Game mode' button on some gaming keyboards. Hope this helps.

    Hello Chris. I'm a fellow Community member here to help. I'm sorry that you're experiencing this issue. To my knowledge they have not disabled this shortcut hotkey.

    What happens when you press Ctrl + P?

    Please let me know I'm happy to help in any way that I can
