My period key is not working properly

I am using an apple keyboard on Windows 10 and I have bootcamp installed and everything used to work just fine, however, today, for some reason that I can't find what, I am not able to use my period key, only the one in the numeric pad..

However, there is something weird happening, because when I am typing my windows login password, the period key works and it works while windows is loading apps and settings but it's just for a few seconds and then it stops working. One more thing, I am also not able to type the period using on-screen keyboard

I would like to know the solution for this before having to reset the computer

Thank you

No need. It turns out to be Geforce Experience I have set up a shortcut for screen replay saving and it wouldn't let me use the key "." outside a game.

What is language setting for your keyboard? It is changed to your chosen one after login is complete.

Can you enable on-screen keyboard in Ease of Access and check which key is used for Period ?

I can, but the period key is not working, even on the on-screen keyboard. I've tried every solution on the internet and nothing worked, not even software to remap the keys.
