Windows 10: Keyboard layout problem

Hello,



I hava a dell g7 with japanese keyboard and Japanese Windows 10 1809 (pro). I installed all the language packs to add english and italian languages and inputs, so now I have a completely english OS + italian and japanese.



The problem I have is that the physical alt gr key is not present on the keyboard and when typing in italian I can't type some letters (most notably the @ symbol which is altgr+ò).



I did try all combinations of ctrl+alt/shift/kana switching keys without success. Google is not my friend, or at least I'm searching for the wrong keywords.



Can someone suggest a fix for this ? I can switch languages to type @ but it's inconvenient remapping one of the Japanese only keys (like the kana switch on the right of the space bar) to alt gr when switching to Italian would be perfect



TIA

:)

Wrong keyboard layout in login page after update to 1607

Hi,

Since the issue reoccurred after updating to anniversary update, I suggest you to reconfigure the QWERTY keyboard layout and check if the same issue persists. This is to check if the issue is with Windows 10 1607 update.

I suggest you to follow the steps below to configure the keyboard layout:

• Open Settings and click on Time and Language.
• Click on Region and Language.
• Add the Country and click on add a language and select the language of your choice.
• This will take time to download the pack.
• Once this is done, Press Windows key + Space and press Space key to choose the keyboard layout.

Hope it helps. Revert to us with the results, will be glad to assist you.

Thank you.
