cant type apostrophe

Question

Hello I have a problem that I can't use the ' button on my keyboard, but I can use *. If I plug my keyboard into other PCs the button works. If I use the on-screen keyboard, it doesn't work either. I have it set to Danish, and a Danish keyboard, like the other computers. What can I do?

Answer 1

That's good to know. I'm glad that you are able to solve the issue. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask again.

Have a great day.

Thanks.

Answer 2

I did a reset of my PC, which helped the problem.

Many thanks for your suggestions

Answer 3

Sorry if that didn't help.

I will now recommend that you try to use System Restore to restore your Windows to the point before the issue persists.

To open System Restore, Press Windows Key + R > Type and enter: rstrui.exe.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

Answer 4

I have now tried the suggestions you came up with, but unfortunately it didn't help.

If I log off and on again, I can write/use the ' button for the first 5 seconds, and then it doesn't work again. This makes mid think there is a service running in the background that stops this. Do you have a suggestion?
