Windows 10: I cannot type "{" anymore.

I have tried typing it via the screenkeyboard but it wont let my press the "{" button. Literally every other button combination works. I'm kinda loosing my mind right now, I have no clue why this is happening and google / gpt couldn't help me either. I am a game dev so I use this button a lot hahahaha. I hope someone can help me fix this tiny, yet annoying issue.
