NVDA on a Lenovo Miix 630 - no modifier key at all

Hi Isak

The links below indicate that there were some concerns about 3rd party software running on ARM devices back in 2017 but I think many have been resolved since.  The fact that the Bluetooth keyboard worked OK points to the issue being with the keyboard on the device itself and as another list member said, I think you need to take up the issue with Lenovo, as the device is inaccessible to you.  There maybe BIOS settings that can be configured so Lenovo Customer services would be a first port of call.

Is this device using an ARM processor?   

 

Cheers

A little update.
I just tested with a Bluetooth keyboard, and the issue was not present.
It's not a solution for me to use a separate Bluetooth keyboard, since the keyboard that comes with it is quite good and works as a case for the tablet, but maybe it can help track down the problem.
Just to make the thing a bit more clear, the keyboard that comes with the device is attached to the tablet part using some own docking system; I've not seen such a system before. In the Device Manager it shows just up as a HID Keyboard Device. I have tried updating the drivers through the Device Manager with no luck.
