    Apostrophes and double quotes don't show up until I type the next letter


    I am using Windows 10 version 21H2 Build 19044.1645, I am living in Australia and my computer has a US keyboard.I had this problem in the past and fixed it but the problem has returned. Previously in Settings > Language, I clicked on "English Australia" selected "Options", removed "US QWERTY" keyboard and added keyboard "United States-International QWERTY".I've looked on the Internet and there are no other suggestions.How can I make it so that when I press the quote key " and ' it displays like any other key without me having to press another key?

    :)

  2. Keyboard stopped typing letters

    Hi,

    Tap each Ctrl, Alt and Shift key briskly a few times. If that doesn't resolve the issue, restart the computer.

  3. typing double apostrophe when apostrophe button is pressed

    Can someone help me out which settings to alter?

    You have an International keyboard layout set for your keyboard:

    • With this keyboard layout the ' keystroke becomes a modifier to enable entering of special characters.
    • To get a single ' character you need to type '+Space.
    • To get a character like é you need to press Alt Gr+e.

    If you want ' to have the normal behavior change the keyboard layout to the appropriate non-international version.

    • You will then have to use an alternate method to input é

    See How to Change Your Keyboard Layout in Windows 8 or 10 for more information.

  4. Apostrophes and double quotes don't show up until I type the next letter

    Computer Keeps Typing Apostrophe's

    Hi, it types apostrophe's as soon as I turn on the computer. I can type another key, or press backspace to stop the Horde of apostrophe's, but when I let go, it starts again. My keyboard is a Logitech K60 with a Logitech M215 mouse. I couldn't find a model number sticker for this computer, but I know it's an HP laptop. T keyboard was working fine for a month, then this started happening. I cannot access my computer, because I need to log in with my Microsoft account to do that, which I can't because of this problem.
