If this was caused by April Version 1803 update can roll back Version 1803 in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and then hide it until it matures using the Hide Updates Tool downloaded from here.

If they return and cause the same problem then hide them with the Hide Updates tool. Д¬heck which Updates were installed at Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Installed Update History and try uninstalling any from around the time this started. See if you can System Restore to a point before the problem began. This could have been caused by Windows Update. Try the Keyboard Troubleshooter at Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you. One reboot later and, presto, the RAlt key is behaving like the RAlt key again, and not like an AltGr.Hi Nicholas. I selected that one, clicked on the 'Remove' button and selected the 'US' layout. In the second field 'Installed Services' I had two keyboard layouts listed 'US-International' and 'US' with 'US-International' being highlighted as it was currently in use. This opens another window 'Text Services and Input Languages'. The solution? There are only a few layouts where the RAlt key is not defined as a AltGr key, and the United States layout is one of them (see here) So, I went to Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > the second tab 'Languages' and in the field 'Text services and input languages' clicked on 'Details'. 'ДЄnd that was exactly my problem! I had just been setting up this system anew after a virus infection caused me to restore the system to factory defaults, and I guess that while twiddling around with some settings I must have changed the keyboard layout to US-International. 'On those keyboard layouts having a defined AltGr key, it is equivalent to holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys together. The first link I just mentioned has the following quote from a previous version of this Wikipedia page You can find it in Control Panel > Accessability Options > the tab 'Keyboard') I finally came across this post, which directed me to a Wikipedia page on the RAlt key, or actually the AltGr key. As soon as I pressed the RAlt key the layout changed showing all these symbols.ДЄfter spending about an hour searching in the wrong direction (does it have anything to do with Sticky Keys perhaps? This in-built function in windows for disabled people. Using windows on-screen keyboard (most people will find this under Start > Programs > Accessories > Accessability > On-Screen keyboard) showed something similar. What the key history in AutoHotkey DID show however was that whenever I pressed the RAlt key it would automatically be accompanied by a Ctrl keystroke! Even when I exited AutoHotkey completely the problem persisted.

Rather annoying as I have a whole bunch of hotkeys strung through my RAlt key. Since last night my right-alt key suddenly stopped working properly. Have a ThinkPad R61i here with WinXP SP2. So, I just spend about two hours struggling with a keyboard problem and I _finally_ solved it.
