    As i already said, my keyboard is unable to write the square braktes, when i hit the key combination alt gr + 8/9 in writes this symbol instead: ¢. Has anybody by chance encountered the same problem and possibly knows a fix?

  2. US keyboard layout, can't type left square bracket

    Hi, so i came upon an issue when i got my new keyboard with a US layout. I am from Denmark and have been using a danish layout up until now. After switching to the US layout i cannot use the dedicated left square bracket key to type left square bracket.
    I can hold down shift and type the left curly bracket {. I can also remap the key to something like A and it works fine, but remapping any key to type the left square bracket makes it so that the key does nothing.

    ALSO this is not a driver issue i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling my keyboard drivers and it is the same issue across multiple keyboards.

    Keyboard automatically typing square brackets randomly

    Sr, I have a Windows 10 PC. Last month, I have connected an external PS2 keyboard to my laptop. My laptop was OK till then. But after I disconnecting the external keyboard, my laptop was automatically typing square brackets whenever I go to write something.
    The problem is not solved till now. I have reconneted the external keyboard but it didn't fix the problem. I have also scan my PC for viruses with an antivirus software, but the problem has not been solved. So , I am now using my on-screen keyboard, but the
    auto typing still ruins me. And one thing I noticed that whenever I restarts my computer, there is a beeping sound. I have also reset my PC and clean installed Windows 10, but the autotyping problem starts after some time, and also the beeping sound when I
    restart my computer. I have also uninstalled the keyboard drivers and reinstalled and updated them, but the problem is still there. So, please suggest me how can I fix this big problem?
