Slash key not working

Hello,
For about three weeks now, I've had a very annoying problem: on my AZERTY keyboard, there's a key that does either : or / (with the shift key). The latter no longer works. I tried with another keyboard (Logitec) and the problem is exactly the same, no /. When starting up, as long as Synapse isn't running, it works fine, of course.
If I uninstall Synapse and restart, it works. 
But if I reinstall, same problem. Even with the last install program. 
I think there's an error in my cloud configuration, but I don't know what to do or where it might be coming from, even though Synapse has been installed and running for months. 

Any help would be appreciated,

Hi Ajuga_Reptans, 

 

Is it the same thing without Synapse running in the background? To fix a non-functional slash key on a Razer keyboard, first clean beneath the keycap with compressed air and check for physical obstruction. If issue persists, PM me your Razer keyboard’s SN: (Follow steps here: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/548/~/how-to-find-the-serial%2C-product%2C-or-part-number-on-a-razer-device) and the link of your device’s receipt in a PDF format: (Save the shareable files via any online drive account listed here: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4011?_ga=2.197232171.544708261.1744067200-1885068520.1744067200&_gl=1*vo487o*_ga_3TRK53PM75*MTc0NDA2NzE5OS4xLjEuMTc0NDA2NzM0My4yNC4wLjA).

I’ll use the said details to provide you specific steps for us to make sure your keys will work perfectly.

Oh, I spent some hours testing (I’m working in computers). It is NOT the keyboard, because if I change it from razer to logitec, slash still out of work. Now if you want serial numbers of my Nagra trinity or my mouse blackwidow tenkeyless I can send them but I don’t see why you need them.
Moreover, when I start the PC in safe mode the slash works. In normal mode slash is OK 1 minute, till the keyboard drivers start too.
And, finally, if I uninstall synapse, slash works.

if I reinstall, even after deleting all files in the c:\program\razer folder, slash stops working.
