   CTRL + Alt/Alt Gr and special signs not working properly

   In short I have had an issue driving me nuts far back and have tried a lot of things.Now I'm asking about it here to see if anyone have any fresh idea, even long shots are welcome.I have a macro keyboard, so I get add @ and similar characters to these keys, but it's a bit tedious to work with. This is a new keyboard and I have tried several keyboards along with reinstalling drivers.I can use WIN + Alt Gr, to get the special symbol in notepad and all office applications.However, that's about were it works and not in any browser.I have suspected that it could be Office which creates issues for m :)

   ALT + GR not working as intended Cannot type the "{" and "[" character. Which is typed by Holding down "ALT GR + 7" and "ALT GR + 8" Key. However typing "7" and "8" individually is no problem. Also typing "@" which is achieved by holding ALT GR + Q works just fine aswell. Meaning every single key works individually. Funnily enough typing with the on Screen Keyboard works aswell for every other combination except for "ALT GR + 7" and "ALT GR + 8"

   ctrl alt del to logon Hi Diane, Conflicts with the user account settings is one of the possible reasons why the secure sign-in option is enabled on your computer even if the box in the settings is not checked. I would suggest that you enable and disable the Require users to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete. You can follow the steps below:

   • Press the Windows key + R.
   • Type control userpasswords2 or netplwiz and press the Enter key.
   • Click the Advanced tab.
   • Under Secure sign-in, check the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox.
   • Click Apply.
   • Restart your computer.
   • Open the same settings again and uncheck the Require users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete checkbox and follow the steps 5 and 6.

   Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

   CTRL + Alt/Alt Gr and special signs not working properly

   Windows 10 - ALT GR + number key combinations 2-3-4 not working, cant type "AT" sign. I have the same problem but with French keyboard. Alt Gr sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Usually when Alt Gr doesn't work I can still use ctrl-alt instead but not always.
