Windows 10: Problem with comma and period keys

Sometimes when I open up my computer, when I try to type either a comma or a period a little blue number appears by the cursor instead. It goes up to 9 when I type a periods, and down from 9 when I type a commas. It doesn't happen every time I log into my computer which is really strange but its very annoying because I cannot use the comma or period symbols when this happens. It is only with those 2 keys.

Comma key is not working

The problem is that the "comma" key doesn't work. When I push the button, nothing happens. I can use the "<" symbol on the same button by pressing it with the shift, but nothing happens when I push the comma by itself.

I tried On-Screen Keyboard, and the comma key was not working there either.

I have been copy-pasting commas into were I need them.

NOTICE: I have found the solution to this problem, and that's why I am making this thread for others to benefit as well.

SOLUTION:

the problem seemed to be with NVIDIA. And turned out to have a very simple solution. You do not have to uninstall anything.

you only have to

1. Open NVIDIA GeForce Experience
2. Go into the overlay settings
3. Keyboard shortcuts
4. By default, the comma key is assigned to something in there. (for me it was muting the mic)
5. Change that key to something else or unassign it (none) by pressing backspace.

the problem should be fixed

Windows Update causing a change to use of decimal characters (period and commas)

Hi,

I work in software tech support. I've had several European users recently experiencing troubles in our software due to decimals being expected as commas or periods or vice versa. Our software will display decimals as either comma or period, but won't accept
data input using either. The first report was on 28 September 2018.

Was there a recent update to localisation that would have affected these users? Is there a release note that lists all changes included in updates? I seem to only be able to find feature changes that affect user experience.

Thanks,

James
