Windows 10: Keyboard layout creator error

Hello,

I have made a custom layout on my keyboard on the keyboard layout creator 1.4 but anything I put on vk_oem_102 the key next to the left shift key on iso layouts yields the error message saying that the key is not defined elsewhere and that it may not be present on all keyboards. When I simply hover the key before trying to validate, there is already the message ****NOT PRESENT ON ALL KEYBOARDS****. I used VIA to configure my pcb and I tried multiple keys on that spot but it just doesn't want to work. I have also tried changing the keyboard language in the project properties but that didn't help... Does anybody know how I can make that key work it does work if I use a classic preconfigured french layout without going through the layout creator, but not the caracters I want

Thanks!
