    Shift+Alt change only part of the keyboard


    Hi,


    For the last 20 years I use two input languages on my Windows10 latptop:
    UK English; and
    Greek


    It is now a couple of weeks that I noticed the following:


    When switching from Greek to English, only the letter keys are switched and for the character keys like @ I have to do a seconf Shift+Alt.

    This happens only when switching from Greek to English. English to Greek works fine.

    Anyone came up on this before?


    Thanks,

    Harry

    :)

  3. How to enable ALT + SHIFT for changing keyboard layout?

    Hi

    I'm having problems making ALT + SHIFT change my keyboard layout.

    According to numerous guides I'm supposed to be able to set the language bar hotkey somewhere in the control panel under Region/Language but that option no longer exists - at least not where it used to be, according to the numerous guides available online.

    So where can I change it now?

    I know that Winkey + Space will change the language but I want it to be ALT + SHIFT so it's in line with my other PCs not running Windows 10.

    Thanks!
