  2. US keyboard layout, can't type left square bracket

    Hi, so i came upon an issue when i got my new keyboard with a US layout. I am from Denmark and have been using a danish layout up until now. After switching to the US layout i cannot use the dedicated left square bracket key to type left square bracket.
    I can hold down shift and type the left curly bracket {. I can also remap the key to something like A and it works fine, but remapping any key to type the left square bracket makes it so that the key does nothing.

    ALSO this is not a driver issue i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my keyboard drivers and it is the same issue across multiple keyboards.

  3. Can't type opening square brackets.

    Hi Gergő,

    It's more likely a corrupted user profile that causing that issue with typing a square bracket. It's juts odd that you've already performed a clean install of Windows 10 Pro, and yet after a day the issue reappear. That said, we suggest that you run the
    System File Checker tool. This tool is a utility in Windows that allows your
    computer to scan Windows system files for corruptions and restore corrupted files.

    We're looking forward to your feedback.
