  1. Alt codes don't work


    Hello,


    I have the same issue as this post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-working/6e095387-5a5c-417a-9a99-566fac32583a


    Except I followed all of the advice - the mouse setting is off, and I created the registry key. Until I shut down my computer, my alt codes were working again. However, upon booting it up the next day, the only thing I can get again is Alt-(0-9)


    For example, ALT+0233 outputs ♥, aka Alt+3 ♥


    ALT+125 outputs ♣, aka Alt+5 ♣



    Any help is appreciated!

    :)

    Little Alt Code Utility

    It does do that, mlee. All buttons have tooltips with the alt code and a description listed in it.

    The masculine ordinal number in Spanish, Italian and Portugese? I'm not even sure what it is for ... lol

  3. No Alt codes working

    I've found that no alt codes appear to be working using either left or right alt keys. I tried a few things suggested by an answer to a similar question ( ALT Codes Not Working
    ) which has made absolutely no difference.

    Other than Alt codes the alt buttons both work normally, likewise with the numpad.

    Hello airfixalex,

    To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    1. Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    2. Click OK.
    • Were there any recent changes made prior to this issue?
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • Does the issue happens to all applications?
    • Please check if the NumLock is turn on. Also, try using another keyboard and check if the Alt codes are working.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.
