    My special keys aren't working


    Keys such as ctrl, fn. alt, left-sift aren't working for some reason. I type a lot and this is a major disadvantage. I am going to try deleting the keyboard software and reinstalling it today but I just need this to work.

  2. Icons from apps aren´t displayed correctly

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query at Microsoft community.

    Do the apps work fine apart form the icons not displaying correctly? If so I would suggest you to run an SFC scan and check if it helps. If the issue persists you may run DISM command and check.

    Follow this steps:


      • Press Windows+X.

      • Click on Command Prompt (Admin).

      • Type the command SFC /SCANNOW and
        DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and hit
        Enter.
    Hope the information provided was helpful and do let us know if you need any assistance in the future. We will be glad to help.

    The native apps from the system are all showing this strange square instead of the normal icons. Please help resolve this problem. Thanks
