^ Key and < Key swapped

Hi, I got Windows 10 in Parallels (Business) on my 2012's Mac Book Retina (German keyboard layout).

So far it works very well, besides this problem here. I'm programmer and I need a lot of smaller-than and greater-than characters. For some reason, when I type on the < Key (> with shift, ≤ with alt) it renders ^ (° with shift, „ with alt) in Windows 10 and back, basically those two buttons are swapped. It is very frustrating, because I cannot even remap those keys of my virtual machine in my Parallels Desktop Preferences. I was able to add those keys, but they are ignored.

How can I solve this issue? Thx.
 
Same with me. Two tickets opened on PD support. No usefull answer so far.
All I got was "reinstall PD tools". Did that. No change.
But I have another installation on my MBP where I do not see this issue. On my MBA I cannot solve it.
 
Parallels Support was very helpful! My solution was this comannd in terminal:
defaults write 'com.parallels.Parallels Desktop' 'HID Host Hook.Force Kbd Type' -int 2​
Now the keys are again there where they should be!
Thanks Paralles!
