    Question mark and apostrophe disappears

    For the last 6 weeks or so, not always but occasionally, in the middle of typing a message, the question mark and the apostrophe disappear and are replaced by an accented e or E. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it.

    Quotation marks + apostrophes are curly (“) by default instead of regular (") quotation marks and apostrophes (Notion)

    When typing in Notion, instead of inputting regular quotation marks and apostrophes when the respective keys are pressed I get curly quotation marks and curly apostrophes instead

    Changing the keyboard layout/language has not solved the problem, neither has using a different user account

    This could potentially be caused due to an accidentally inputted keyboard shortcut? Though I'm not sure about that. I've seen Ctrl + Shift + ' suggested before, but that didn't fix the issue.

    Computer Keeps Typing Apostrophe's

    By replaced, do you mean you replaced it with a new laptop keyboard or a usb keyboard?

    The reason I think its the laptop keyboard is becuase the apostrophe's are still being typed even with the usb keyboard unplugged. From my knowledge there is no way that the apostrophe can be typed by a program, unless its something like a voice recogniser.

    Even though the laptop keyboard appears un-responsive it is likely that it is still connected internally. This probably means its the actual hardware of the keyboard and needs to be physcially unplugged from the motherboard (inside the laptop).

    You could try a computer repair store that specialises in replacing specific parts (e.g touchpads, speakers, screens etc...) For me in New Zealand, I go to Harvey Norman who has their own seperate computer repair store. So you could try the store where you brought it from...

    I suppose it could be a program that has a command to repeadly type apostrophes, but I find this very hard to believe as it happens at the login screen where most programs start up after the user has logged in.

    Its a bit hard for me to help any further since I believe its more of a hardware problem and we can't get past the login screen. I'm open to any suggestions that other members on this forum might have.
