  1. Change of characters on certain keys but most importantly I have lost the Sterling sign...


    Hi,

    I have upgraded my Edge browser to the latest version but along the way it seems to have changed some of the key characters on my keyboard such as ---@ has become " ,and vice versa, but more confusing is -- my sterling sign has become #, # changed to \ ; \ has stayed as \ and the wavy line above # has become , so I appear to have lost the sterling icon. I have tried using device manager and looking for up to date drivers- no change to problem and no upgrades available. Has anyone had a similar issue or has anyone got a solution. I would be grateful .

    John

    :)

    Pound Sterling key

    Hi Chris,

    Do you have a Pound Sterling symbol on your Keyboard, and if so when you press that key what character prints or does no character print?

    Pound Sterling key

    Hi Dave

    The physical keyboard has a pound sterling sign above the 3, but this now gives #

    The 2 key has '' above it , but is giving @

    The @ key is giving "

    I guess therefore that the keyboard is a UK format

    It was working fine, but seems now to have the gremlins

    Does your response apply to this situation?

    Chris
