  1. Have to hold down the ö-letter key on my keyboard


    Hello, i have a problem with my keyboard that started a couple of months ago, i have a nordic language keyboard, and all language settings are set to swedish as they should be.

    On nordic keyboards there are "special keys" like å and ä, and i have a problem with the third special letter which is ö.

    The ö letter only appears if i hold down the ö-letter key on the keyboard. I have slow keys disabled and no delay on other keys on the keyboard, it is ONLY the ö- key that have this delay/problem.


    The weird thing is that if i try to use the Windows on-screen keyboard, i have to hold down the ö-key with my mouse-pointer there as well for the ö to appear, so there is nothing wrong with my keyboard/hardware because the problem persists in Windows on-screen keyboard.


    I have tried to unplug, remove the drivers and let windows re-install drivers, switched usb-ports and double checked all language settings and keyboard setting so that they are correct.


    As i said, the problem started a couple of months ago, it worked fine before?


    How can i fix this really annoying problem?

    :)

    Holding down alt key brings up extra letter 'graphics'

    It's definitely not a Windows basic function but rather a MS Office and perhaps other MS programs. I have plenty of programs where holding down the alt key underlines just the letter in the menu text. Most of these can be turned to always on by using the Change How Keyboard Shortcuts Work in the Ease of Access app. Some programs are already set to always underline already.

    The old menus were much better IMO. They looked better and more importantly took up less of my valuable screen real estate. ugh. It is what it is. MS just keeps hogging up my screen space unnecessarily.

    The below 'Home' menu is just terrible looking to me and there is no way to make the extra graphics go away after using the Alt+H keyboard shortcut. Hitting the alt key again makes the menu disappear.

    These letters show with the Alt key for any app that a) has a ribbon bar, and b) you have minimised the ribbon. This includes built in apps like File Explorer and Wordpad. It is an aid to show you which key will select a particular action. If you haven't minimised the ribbon, then letters will appear instead for each tab so you can select one from the keyboard.

    In apps without a ribbon such as Notepad the Alt key will underline the letter that selects the action from the keyboard.

    Hide or Show File Explorer Ribbon in Windows 10

    You can't, it's a basic Windows function. But you can press Alt again to make them go away.

    on my keyboard I can't hold down key's

    Hi Ayden,

    If you're meaning to physically hold down the buttons on your keyboard, we believe that wouldn't be possible unless the button you're trying to hold has a switch to hold it down or by using something to hold the button down. To clear up the issue that you're
    having, kindly provide us the information we need below:

    • Tell us what is the make and the model of your device?
    • Are you trying to turn on your Wifi using a button on your keyboard?
    • Kindly describe the situation you're in why you need to hold buttons on your keyboard.
    • Tell us which buttons are you referring to.

    We are looking forward to your response.
