    Key combinations works on OSK but not on physical keyboard


    Good afternoon! I'm having a pretty weird problem, I usually use RIGHT SHIFT + 1 to make "!" but now I can't do it unless I use LEFT **** + 1, I have the same problem with CTRL + Z, for some reason I can't use them. I checked on a virtual keyboard and I totally can make this combinations and they work perfectly, but for some reason they don't on my keyboard. I already unplugged it and plugged in all the other ports and the problem keeps, I unnistalled the drivers of the keyboard lots of times, but nothing. I already made a clean start, checked the keyboard on another computer, excecuted sfc /

    :)

    Combination of CTRL, SHIFT, ARROW keys not repeating

    Thank you for the suggestion but that does not resolve the issue i.e. the combination does not seem to work even when I am using the On Screen Keyboard.

    The only change I made was to install an upgrade from Microsoft. Nothing else.

    Any other suggestions??

    Combination of CTRL, SHIFT, ARROW keys not repeating

    Hi,

    Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

    I appreciate you for trying some steps in order to get the issue fixed.

    There are several different kinds of keyboards for PCs. The most common type is a physical, external keyboard that you plug into your PC. But, Windows has a built-in Ease of Access tool called the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) that can be used instead of a physical
    keyboard to move around a PC's screen or enter text. You don’t need a touchscreen to use the OSK. It displays a visual keyboard with all the standard keys, so you can use your mouse or another pointing device to select keys, or use a physical single key or
    group of keys to cycle through the keys on the screen.

    I would request you to use the on-screen keyboard and then check if the said combination works.

    Use the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) to type

    Please revert if you face any issues with the key combination.

    Thank you.

    Key combinations works on OSK but not on physical keyboard

    Right Ctrl key doesn't work with "Canadian Multilingual Standard" keyboard.

    Hi

    Thanks for your response.

    I don't have a numpad on my laptop and this doesn't seem to work. I don't have the "Scr Lk" and "Num Lk" keys either.

    I've tried at least 32 different combinations including:

    1. (as suggested) holding down "Alt" key while typing "jui" (for alt+145), "mj98" (for alt+0198) and several other combinations on notepad.

    2. repeating this on Microsoft Excel 2019 and elsewhere.

    3. enabling NumLock on OSK and repeating steps 1 and 2.

    4. changing my keyboard to "US Keyboard" for English, and repeating steps 1 through 3.

    5. holding down "Fn" and "Alt" keys simultaneously and repeating steps 1 through 4.

    6. repeating steps 1 through 5 while typing exclusively on the OSK (instead of the physical one).

    I got nothing or just the letters "jui" or "mj98".

    I guess looking for a customized layout might be my only hope.
