I am unable to type accentuated letters and some signs such as @ on QWERTY keyboard

Hi,billal yahiaoui

Welcome to the Microsoft Community



I do understand how your keyboard's limited inputs are causing you problems

Have you tried connecting your laptop to an external keyboard to see if you have the same problem?

I have a few thoughts that may help with your question：

• You can use the on-screen keyboard in your computer to type:

• If you want to type French accentuated letters,You can enter via Quick Accent at this link
  
  Microsoft PowerToys | Microsoft Learn
  

• Third-party software may also be interfering with the keyboard, you can try performing a ‘clean boot’ to troubleshoot this possibility.

Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.   

These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track. 

If you can provide more information it will enable us to help you better:

1. Can you provide us with your version information, Win+R, type winver and share the screenshot?
   
2. Is it only @ that you can't type, or other symbols as well?
   

If i misunderstand your situation , please feel free to correct me and share more information.

SOUND FOR TYPING KEYS?

Hi Richard,

The option to play key sound as a user type is available in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 settings. The steps on how to enable the option will depend on the make and model of the device. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the
following questions:

• Which build and edition of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
• What is the make and model of your PC?
• Is the option "Hear click sounds while typing" available in Gmail and Yahoo mail's settings?
• What changes have you made to your computer before this issue occurred?

For initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you manually update your keyboard driver. This
link provides further information on how to update drivers in Windows 10.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

I am unable to type accentuated letters and some signs such as @ on QWERTY keyboard

Hello guys! I have just bought a new Dell laptop with QWERTY keyboard, while I was used to AZERTY keyboards only. And as I tried to type @ I couldn’t. I tried the buttons shift+@/2 as shown on the keyboard but it didn’t work. I also couldn’t type French accentuated letters such as â,ô, ï, è,é etc. Despite that I have tried to make the ALT+number shortcuts as I used to do so in the AZERTY but it didn’t work.
