Closed Bracket stopped working...

Question

Hello, yesterday all of a sudden I couldn't use my closed bracket when I was programming then I noticed I cant use it at all. Today the issue still resides and the only way of getting it is with the windows + closed bracket key. I can still use } perfectly fine.

• No, I cannot use it on the virtual keyboard

-Yes, I have tried updating/reinstalling keyboard drivers

-No, I havent made any custom shortcuts for this to happen

Some insight would be extremely helpful as its simply impossible to talk to someone on the phone for support and there is no help online as I have looked everywhere for an answer.

Hi ChristianZB,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Such phenomenon can be related to a number of factors, such as interference from third-party services, account Profile anomalies, or anomalies in the system's components.

The first point you mentioned related to Virtual Keyboard suggests the latter two possibilities.
