    Hi,

    I use Parallels 12 and Windows 10. When I tape the character "+" on my Apple keyboard, I get "§". All specifique characters is strange : "-" is "=" etc....
    I tested bootcamp drivers but It said "not for this computer" !!! . Then, I installed the keyboard driver only but same result.

    Thanks for your help

    Jennifer

    Please configure Keyboard layout in Windows virtual machine.
    Please reinstall Parallels Tools.

    THANKS, the problem is solved

    For windows 10:
    - configuration panel
    - language
    - Options (keyboard)
    - Add Entry Method
    - Look for your Apple Keyboard
    - Delete the old keyboard

    Best regards

    Jennifer

    What do I do when my keyboard in Windows 10 is United States - Apple (Parallels) and I have reinstalled Parallel Tools twice?
    The right Alt key when used with other keys is producing characters that are of no use to me and causing me grief.
    For example, Alt + F should pull down the File Menu in most windows apps; instead, I get some strange character I don't use.
    Was working fine yesterday.
