    Apostrophe key is slow on UK Layout


    Very simple issue, on UK layout the apostrophe key is very slow and needs to be held down for about a second before it starts putting out apostrophes. I know it isn't a hardware issue as on the US Layout, it doesn't take any time at all. How can I fix this?

    :)

    Apostrophe key doesnt work on UK layout but does on US?

    I recently got a new keyboard. Im in the UK and its a US layout keyboard so I tried experimenting with the US layout to see how comfortable it was but I didnt like it so I uninstalled the US layout pack but now, for whatever reason, the apostrophe key doesnt work. When I reinstalled the US layout it works, but when I switch back to the UK layout it doesnt.

    Before I experimented with the US mode as well, it worked then. Im not sure why it doesnt anymore.

    EDIT: It seems to work when signing in for whatever reason but as soon as Im signed in it stops working again, and when using the onscreen keyboard it also doesnt work

    EDIT 2: ive found out that it does work but for some reason i have to hold the key for a second to get it to work, what is going on?!?!

  3. Keyboard settings (UK layout not working)

    I have a UK layout keyboard (shift + 2 is "), but my computer insists on using US layout (shift + 2 is @). I use a Corsair STRAFE keyboard.

    • In iCue (Corsair keyboard app), the layout is set to UK.
    • In Settings app, the system language is English UK. The Preferred language is English UK, and the keyboard has one layout, English UK.
      • If I add a US keyboard to it, and use Win + Space, two options show up to cycle through:
        • English (UK) - US Keyboard
        • English (US) - US Keyboard
    • In Control Panel main menu, there is only 'Clock and Region,' not 'Clock,
      Language
      , and Region.'
    Please any help would be great!

  4. Apostrophe key is slow on UK Layout

    Apostrophe key not working ***read description***

    And when I look at my OSK the apostrophe and quote are flipped, on my keyboard the quote is on the bottom of the key and the apostrophe is on top of the key. Dont know if that matters. But other than that yes, its the same.
