    My forward slash key doesn't work, however the question mark button does


    Notes
    • Question mark does work
    • Forward slash does work when I'm in the windows startup entering my password
    • Forward slash does not do anything, nor does it print another symbol or letter
    • My language is English (United States)
    • My keyboard is US- QWERTY and I have also tried US- International, both of which did not produce any results
    • I have not set up speech recognition
    • All my drivers for my keyboard are updated
    • I tried to remap the front slash to another key and it didn't work, nothing would print when I pressed the key

    I know the problem is not hardware related, but I am at a loss of what to do here. Any help is appreciated.


    Thanks!

    :)

    No Question mark or forward slash

    Trouble started about a week ago. I can't use my question mark of which I need for some passwords and also the forward slash mark doesn't show either all I get is the star ********** or asteric

    I have a Toshiba laptop Sat.C55-A5300 it is about 5 years old, I have tried to fix or repair with pop ups. And somebody suggested I uninstall Office word and reinstall which I did with no results, also tried to change language and back to USA English.

    Haven''t tried a different keyboard yet, because I don't have another.

    I have signed in but it doesn't show. When I hit reply on email it didn't go.

    Cannot get Forward OR Backward Slash to work in Windows 10

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and we are happy to help you.

    You are not able use forward slash key and backward slash key on your keyboard

    Could you answer few questions:

    • Have you made any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue?
    • What is the make and model of the keyboard?
    • Do you have problem with any other keys?

    I would like you to use On screen keyboard and check.

    Follow these steps:

    • Press Windows key+W and type On Screen Key Board.
    • Select Turn on screen Key Board on or off.
    • Click on Start On Screen Key Board.
    A new key board window will open up. Try to use that and check if it works.

    Post back us with results. We’ll be glad to assist you.
