Windows 10: Keyboard only types digits and symbols but no alphabets in non-microsoft apps.

For some reason, I am unable to type letters only letters on my laptop. This is also a problem only in installed apps such as chrome, notepad, etc. Alphabets work just fine in Start, control panel, Microsoft store, etc. My keyboard on my Windows 10 laptop usually works perfectly. However, suddenly without any remarkable reason, I am unable to type letters. I can type numbers and special characters just fine, but not letters. I tried using the virtual keyboard, but I could not type letters there either. Sticky keys were turned off as well. So what is the problem? And how do i fix this? Alread

Can someone tell me how to type the symbol for the Russian Ruble using the keyboard on my laptop ?

I had a list of symbols and icons that one could write years ago but I lost it and can't find it using Google.

Thanks, Mick
