Microsoft Start - I can no longer type the letter 'M'

Windows 10 Lenovo ThinkPad

Just recently, when making comments in Microsoft Start, I can no longer type the letter 'M'. The letter works in email and everywhere else.

The only solution I have found, has to do with Nvidia Graphic card. I don't have that.

Any ideas what changed in the last week or so?

Thanks

This is a pretty normal thing on Microsoft Start and is the site, not people's computers or keyboards. You will notice that while it blocks the lower case m you can always add a capital M. It's the software preventing the lower case m. I have taken to just opening a new tab or notepad and typing what I want. Then copy and paste it. It will let you paste a lower case m, just not type one. This is something Microsoft will have to deal with, not something end users can fix. Just work around.

    i have not noticed that as so far. i use black backgrounds exclusively, and only once every so often has the 'm' issue arisen.

    I read, from the many responses, that this problem, "not being allowed to type lower-case letter "m" in Microsoft Edge (as when typing in MS Start comments on articles), that the black background was tied to this problem. Well, that is not it!

    I changed my theme or background from black to another color, reset browser and laptop, and still cannot type "m" in MS Edge, while commenting in MS Start articles.

    Weird stuff that Bill's team gets paid to blow up, huh?

    I am using Windows 10 and the Edge browser. Using the on-screen keyboard does not work. You have to copy and paste for it to work. Accessed articles from the new tab news.
