Hi,


When I try to type a vocal with accent like 'á','é', 'í','ó' or ú it shows the replacement character(�) instead of the vocal with accent.


I am on windows 10, It seems to be a known issue < View: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/ais05n/alt_codes_not_working/
> but I did not find the resolution for this.



I will provide some information about what I've tried to do in order to resolve it. Please read it carefully before asking me to do something that is already mentioned:



1- I tried to do the solution 1, 2 and 3 of this foro <Solutions to Fix ALT Codes Not Working on Windows 10> I tried the number 4 and it works but this is a workaround and not a solution. it's kinda boring to be copying and pasting the characters.



2- I checked the windows updates and my computer is in the latest.



3- I worked before. Suddenly It stopped to work without any reason.



4- The strange thing is that It works on Edge but not in other Applications or browsers like Notepad++, Notepad, Chrome, Word, Netbeans, Visual Studio Code and others.....



5-The language for the display name for windows is 'Spanish (spain)' and in 'preferred languages' there is only the 'english(United states)' set.



6-I read in some posts that It could be a third application, so can I know which application could be? How can I troubleshoot this?

I will attach a screenshot with the applications that I have.







I'd like to highlight the point 3 since I did not do any change, installation or update before It stopped to work.


Please help me since I am frustrated trying to resolve it.


I look forward your response.


Anthony Playmith.
