Hi bunderwood

I would suggest you to reinstall the quickset application from the link mentioned below. Once installed, restart your system and press Ctrl>and right-arrow key that might help you.

In case the issue persists, you may reseat the keyboard to see if that helps. If you continue to face the same issue, then you might need to get a new keyboard.
