    I've googled this and found some supposed fixes, like opening Remote Desktop Connection and doing some different key combinations, amongst other things but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

    ALT + GR not working as intended

    Cannot type the "{" and "[" character. Which is typed by Holding down "ALT GR + 7" and "ALT GR + 8" Key.

    However typing "7" and "8" individually is no problem.

    Also typing "@" which is achieved by holding ALT GR + Q works just fine aswell. Meaning every single key works individually.

    Funnily enough typing with the on Screen Keyboard works aswell for every other combination except for "ALT GR + 7" and "ALT GR + 8"

    ALT GR + @ not working

    Hey

    so i did everything on that list:

    Answering everything on that list:

    - Do not have remote dekstop

    - Did not have hyper V to disable

    - Did not have Synaptics to disable

    - Language was put correctly

    - I restarted CTFMON.EXE

    - No updates required

    - And tried the alternative keys (Since i have a Lenovo laptop & this would be happening more often)

    Basically i've went through them all & nothing worked.

    One note to add that my alt gr AT key does work everytime i restart my laptop, it works for like 3 seconds & then it stops working. No clue on why

  4. Alt gr no longer works

    Alt / Alt Gr keys are not working on physical keyboard

    Hi

    My ASUS Laptop's ALT and ALT GR keys are not working. It happened when I installed a Free Software named iSkySoft... That program is now uninstalled, but it still shows up in the StartUp list ( as deactivated though )

    My on-screen keyborad works as well as an external USB Keyboard.

    I have tried Clean Boot - no luck

    I have reinstalled the keyboard driver - no luck

    I ran Malwarebytes - no luck

    I read that a lot of people ran into this problem, and I have followed many suggestions, without succes..

    The only things I can relate to this is the iSkySoft installation or when I restart my PC, sometimes it let me choose between WIN 10 ( disc 3 ) or...... WIN 10 ( disc 3 )... ??? Somehow I have 2 identical versions of WIN 10.. Maybe thats it ??

    I did install the iSkySoft late November 2016, and when I look at my list of programs, no other programs are installed near that date..

    Any suggestions Alt gr no longer works :)

    / Thomas

    NB - It doesn't work in any programs
