:-) yup, no issues when compared with the functionality on Windows 7 or 8.

C-S does not work for me on Windows 10, neither in 25.1.1 nor 23.4.1

What do you mean by "does not work"? what happens if you try?

Also, it's Ctrl-s, i.e. hold the Control key and then press the
lower-case s key.  Is that what you are doing?

Re: emacs for win10

I think Fredrik is referring to Ctrl+Shift

That was seen by me too. First I thought it was a problem. But, soon it 
was clear that 'a' and 'A' are the same (duh!). And shift is being used 
as the access key for that other character, which is why it may seem to 
not be working.

Fredrik, Is that what you're seeing? However, if you want to use C-{, 
you need to press C-S-[ which is treated as C-{.

On that note, it would be useful to detach the two: C-a and C-A (C-S-a) 
doing different things.

I am trying to search, i.e. invoke isearch-forward. I hold down left
control, and press S. (No shift). Emacs does not react. When I do C-h k
C-s, the minibuffer message 'Describe key (or click or menu item)' stays
in the minibuffer. If I do M-x global-set-key C-s, the message 'Set key
globally:' stays in the minibuffer.

When I use remote desktop to other computers, C-s does work.

Other control keys work, so I have bound isearch-forward to C-\.

That probably means some package you installed or some optional
feature you turned on catches C-s keystrokes and Emacs doesn't see
them.

Indeed, it went away when I restarted the machine. I have no idea what
stole C-s.
