AltGr key not working instead I have to use Ctrl AltGr

Question

I encountered this problem several times  I want to use a character accessible using the AltGr Key but for some reason it doesn t work  As if I didn t press the AltGr key  Usually I experience this in remote Desktop but not on my local machine  I think that this is triggered when doing a combination of those keys   Alt Ctrl AltGr Shift   Enter  But I tried many of those combinations  and it didn t solve the problem  I also figured out that I could access the characters I needed while doing Ctrl AltGr Key instead of AltGr Key

I found a solution for my problem while writing my question !

Going into my remote session i tried two key combinations, and it solved the problem on my Desktop : Alt+Enter and Ctrl+Enter (i don't know which one solved the problem though)

I tried to reproduce the problem, but i couldn't... but i'm almost sure it's one of the key combinations described in the question above (since i experienced this problem several times)

So it seems the problem comes from the use of RDP (windows7 and 8)

Update 2017: Problem occurs on Windows 10 aswell.
