My lowercase P stoPPed working

I have a wireless, brand-new Logitech keyboard. My lowercase P stoPPed working. I can get a LC-P, but it takes a little maneuvering with the caPs lock key and the shift key. I noticed my LC P stoPPed working after a MS Windows 11 uPdate. (and, as we know, anything is Possible after an uPdate LOL). I have gone to, at least, 10 sites that show 'fixes' for this Problem. But, none have rectified it. Now what? Also, I have Plugged in my 'adaPter' that came with the new keyboard into another slot - still doesn't work. I bought the new keyboard because I had the same Problem on the old keyboard after the download NOTE: all of my drivers are uP-to-date.

@omap621, These type of cases are not hardware problems; they're software. The thing is, electrically a lowercase 'p' is the same signal as an uppercase 'P'; the case is determined by the keyboard device driver; that 'p' signal is modified depending on the state of the Shift or Caps Lock buttons.

So what you're looking for is a program that has changed the keyboard bindings. I'd try restarting in safe mode and see if the problem goes away, or enter the BIOS setup screen and test there. If the key works then, you'll have to get into the Task Manager and start killing programs until you find the one that's rebinding your key.

Thank you for answering. I do not know how to enter the BIOS setuP screen nor the Safe Mode. Also, Task Manager: I know how to get to it, but how do I determine a SAFE way to 'KILL PROGRAMS' as you suggest. I would hate to delete a Program in Task Manager and then, not have the Program when I need it. Thank you.

@omap621 When you kill a program in the task manager, you're not removing it from your system, you're stopping it from running until you reboot. So no worries about the program not being there; you can always get it back just by rebooting. The object here is to stop programs running, one at a time until your P key starts working again.

Alternatively, you can use the Windows PowerToys application to check and see if your keyboard bindings have been remapped. Go to the following web page and follow the instructions to bring up the keyboard manager and it's key remapping function. There you can check to see if it's been remapped to something that's not useful and if so you can delete that mapping.
