Windows 10: United Kingdom Extended keyboard no longer adding accents to capital letters with shift key

Since the most recent Windows update, the United Kingdom Extended keyboard no longer seems to support adding accents to capital letters by pressing the shift key.


Formerly, I was able to type `+shift+a to obtain À, but this is no longer possible. The shift key seems to just cancel the accent. Was this an intentional change for some reason, or is it just a bug that will hopefully be fixed soon?


I've found a workaround via caps lock, but really it's rather annoying to have to press caps lock+`+a+caps lock just to obtain À; effectively I'm now having to perform an extra key press every time I need to enter a capital accented character, which happens often, so it's really rather annoying.

Shift Key Changes Capitalization

When I happen to by needing to use the shift key while editing text in most Office applications, the shift key changes the capitalization of the word. Press it once and the first letter comes capitalized, and I think the whole word becomes capitalized if
you press shift again. This is insanely irritating, because anytime you are using any keyboard shortcut or anything that requires the shift key, it changes the capitalization status of your words.

How do I turn off the ability of the shift key to change capitalization?
