    Special characters ^

    How do you type the special character ^ (it's what you get when you type Shift-6 on a standard keyboard). I cant' find a way to get this character on the keyboard -- I'm forced to use copy/paste to copy the character from another source and paste it where
    I need it.

    Typing special characters on Windows 10 login screen

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem.

    Method: 1

    I would suggest you to use Shift + special characters keys such as #, &, @, {,}, [,], on the login screen check if it helps.

    If not suggest you to follow the below method.



    Method: 2

    Check with different keyboard, and if that works.

    Method: 3

    Try to runHardware and Devices troubleshooter.

    • Press “Windows key + X” and type “troubleshooting”.
    • Select “Troubleshooting”.
    • Select “View all” on the top left corner.
    • Click “Hardware & Devices”.
    • Click on “Keyboard & Mouse ”
    • Follow the on-screen instruction to run the troubleshooter.

    Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.
