  1. Stop installing keyboard layouts I don´t want!


    I'm using 2 keyboard layouts - US English and Czech QWERTY layout. For some reason, Windows keeps sporadically installing another layout for the Czech language, which is QWERTZ, therefore changing Y for Z. It's extremely annoying to keep fixing this by adding this layout to the keyboard layout list and then remove it to make it disappear from the selection.Yes, the layout appears in the bottom right corner's keyboard layout selection even though it's not actually visible in the settings.It only started happening last week and I had to do it twice since then to temporarily remedy the issue.

    Keyboard Layout

    "Letters and numbers are all correct, but most of the other signs are misplaced"

    This suggests to me that you are using the wrong "keyboard language" for your keyboard, and that therefore you first step would be to determine exactly what language keyboard you have. Possibly have a look at Windows Keyboard Layouts - Globalization | Microsoft Docs.

    (The age of any laptop capable of running Windows 10 at all should not be a problem as regards keyboard layout)
