Hi @abcgl77, Welcome to HP Support Community. 👋

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

Ah, the elusive backslash! It seems your keyboard is playing hide-and-seek 👀 with this essential character. Fear not, we'll coax it out of its hiding place. 

Please follow these steps: 

Check Keyboard Layout: Ensure that your keyboard layout is set to Swiss in your Windows settings. Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region and make sure the correct layout is selected.

Update Keyboard Drivers: Sometimes, updating the keyboard drivers can fix the issue. You can do this by:

• Right-clicking on the Start button and selecting Device Manager.
• Expanding the Keyboards section, right-clicking on your keyboard, and selecting Update driver.
• Following the prompts to search for and install any available updates.

Uninstall and Reinstall Keyboard Driver: If updating doesn't work, try uninstalling the keyboard driver and then restarting your laptop. This will force Windows to reinstall the driver.

• In Device Manager, right-click on your keyboard and select Uninstall device.
• Restart your laptop, and Windows should automatically reinstall the driver.

Use On-Screen Keyboard: As a temporary workaround, you can use the on-screen keyboard to type the backslash. You can enable it by going to Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard and turning on the On-Screen Keyboard.

Check for Physical Issues: Ensure that there is no physical damage or debris under the key. Sometimes, a gentle cleaning can help.

I hope this helps. 🙂

Take care and have a good day. 😇
