I have PuTTY 0.76 running on Windows 10 2004.

I use PuTTY for connecting to several Linux servers using SSH.

In past I have been able to to clear terminal screen with key combination Ctrl+L. But now that combination has stopped working and only Ctrl+Shift+L clears the terminal screen now. This is same for all Linux servers I connect to and the servers have not changed so something must have changed in PuTTY settings or Windows.

How could I restore ability to clear screen with Ctrl+L?

I have tried checking PuTTY settings but was not able to find anything related to this. I also tried searching information about Windows settings that could cause this but did not find anything.

As suggested in the comments I found out that another program had taken over keyboard shorcut for clearing the terminal screen.

I used methods descriped in How do I find out which programs have registered global hotkeys in Windows 10? to find program that had taken over the key combination.

After I changed keyboard shortcut in the other program clearing terminal screen in Putty started working again with Ctrl+L.
