Cannot get Forward OR Backward Slash to work in Windows 10

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Community and we are happy to help you.

You are not able use forward slash key and backward slash key on your keyboard

Could you answer few questions:

• Have you made any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue?
• What is the make and model of the keyboard?
• Do you have problem with any other keys?

I would like you to use On screen keyboard and check.

Follow these steps:

• Press Windows key+W and type On Screen Key Board.
• Select Turn on screen Key Board on or off.
• Click on Start On Screen Key Board.

A new key board window will open up. Try to use that and check if it works.

Post back us with results. We’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Forward Slash Doesn't Work

I have used different keyboards, and my PC doesn't detect forward slash "/"

Pressing shift and clicking lets me type the question mark "?"

Even the On-Screen-Keyboard also doesn't input "/"

The keyboards work fine on other PCs but not this PC.

I have updated drivers and even updated the PC to the newest version and so far, it still doesn't input forward slash.

Is there a fn+button, win+button, etc that disables a button even in On-Screen-Keyboard?

Have tried typing in new language and so far, no luck either.
