Hey! I’m am having issues with having the accent press down option work for me. I used to be able to press down and an accents bar would pop out. However, this is no longer happening when I press down any letter. Do you guys have any idea how to fix the issue? I work with bilingual communities and need this for work.
thanks!

Webroot? Or another one? A common problem, that stuff often causes more problems than it solves....

Yes, Webroot. So annoying. I couldn’t even connect my bluetooth devices to the computer. Lesson learned. Thank you!
