    Alt codes not working


    I have a Microsoft surface go 2 running on windows 11, and I bought the Microsoft number pad to be able to use alt codes for accented letters. I have tried everything and I cannot figure out how to get them to work. Only alt+1 through alt+9 are working. I have tried fixing it in settings, regedit, and the mouse and keyboard centre. If anyone knows anything that could help, I'm all ears. I need to be able to use alt codes but it's looking like I'm not going to be able to at all with this laptop.

    :)
