Latvian (Standard) keyboard not working

I've seen this question asked before, but it never received a helpful solution, so I'm trying again. This problem is currently not allowing me to do my paid job, so an actual solution would be nice,

Ever since Microsoft added the Latvian (Standard) keyboard layout, it has used the single quote key (') as a dead key to add accents to various Latvian letters (āēīūšģķļžčņ).

Now, however, this feature has stopped working, making this layout functionally identical to the Latvian (QWERTY) layout, where a press of the Left Alt key is used for diacritical marks. (Usually, on the Latvian (Standard) layout both Left Alt AND the quote key could serve this purpose.)

This bug appeared recently on one of my computers (Windows 10), today on another (Windows 11), and a friend is reporting the same issue on a completely separate system (Windows 10). No modifications to any of these systems were made, and we have made sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.

Additional info: when the quote key is pressed ONCE, it immediately outputs two single quotes (''), which is contrary to the usual behavior of this key, where two consecutive presses of it are needed and result in two single quotes, while a single press outputs no characters and only modifies the next letter pressed with a diacritic. Internet searches report this as often unwanted behavior for the International US keyboard layout, but I would like to reiterate, that this is the exact behavior that I do need and have used without problem for multiple years.

Also - a thing I just noticed - this keyboard layout WORKS IN THE START MENU!!! It just doesn't in any application.

How do I fix this issue?

Thanks
