Windows 10: equal sign not working on my Windows PC...Plus sign prints instead

Hello,


I've attempted all the previously recommended steps, and the equal sign seems to have been removed from my OS?!


If I attempt to type equal, I get the + sign instead



1 I uninstalled the Logitech K120 keyboard [device manager, uninstall HID Keyboard]. Shut Down, Rebooted, Re-installed, same issue

a tried doing the same, but unplugging the keyboard when it shut down, rebooted, and then plugged in, but it did not solve the issue

2 I installed another keyboard [Logitech Classic 200], but it did not fix the issue.

a followed same steps as above, uninstall, reboot, connect, no good

3 I loaded the "Virtual Keyboard"... equal sign still not working. When I press on the equal symbol, which is highlighted as "active", it still just prints the + sing.

a Virtual Keyboard shows the equal sign as highlighted. When I press on Shift Key, it turns Blue, the Plus symbol is now highlighted bright white, but and obviously is printing the + sign.


It's as if the equal sign just doesn't exist anymore.


Help... was working fine about 2 weeks ago.

The equal sign does not work on my keyboard

Whenever I try to press the equal sign, which is close to the backspace key it doesn't type anything. And the key does work properly as when I press Shift plus this key, it gives me a plus sign - +. Whenever I need to use the equal sign, I have to copy
it from somewhere and paste it and I'm getting pretty annoyed by it. Any solutions? Thanks.

 

Sign in with a Microsoft account instead

I do in fact have an existing Microsoft account and if I go directly to Microsoft, everything works. The problem is clearly at Step 7 of the process of, "Sign in with a Microsoft account instead." I don't know why this is happening.

 

Equals sign's not working

Equal sign is not working. It works for a period of 10 seconds when powering up and then stops working at all. I need an urgent solution. I use windows 10.
