Hello, I am a developer. My ultrabook HP spcetre x360. Angle brackets key work as ctrl on the keyboard. I think, thats happened after updates. I tried to update drivers and find solution on internet, but I could not find any result. Please help me for this problem. The key I use the most is not working anymore.
