Windows 10: Win 10 keyboard '@' key not working since 25 March 2019

Hi


I am looking for help. Both the '@' and the '&' have stopped working on my wireless keyboard since Sunday. There was an update on Friday and the pc was switched off until then.


Both work fine on my laptop as do the numbers 2 and 7.


I have a back up keyboard which is identical and when I change it over the same issue persists which suggests it is not a hardware fault.


All other keys are working.

I have tried all the delete driver options / reinstall hardwear etc solutions but the problem is persisting. The language setting has been changed and rechanged without success.


Any ideas? My skills are a bit limited so I am hoping someone out there can assist.


Thanks for your help.

Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...
