Windows 10: Double symbols on laptop keyboard ~~ ^^ ``

So I'm having trouble fixing double symbols appearing when pressing the keyboard just once. The symbols are: ~~ ^^ ´´ and I can't type accent letters such as: ã, á, é, etc.I've tried every fix I've found on the internet such as uninstalling my drivers on device manager, changing keyboards on the language settings and nothing has worked so far. When I uninstall the drivers and restart my computer, the issue is fixed for about 30s then reverts back.There is no damage to my laptop keyboard so it's not a hardware issue. I have a dual boot installed on my computer and this issue doesn't happen on L

Laptop Keyboard symbol error

Hi. My laptop keyboard has gone mad!!!
A lot of the symbol characters have swapped around eg

the "?" is now on the "_" button!

the "&" is the "/" button

the Hashtag is a £ sign and others have moved. Its a nightmare to type!

I have tried and it did Not work....

• Updated keyboard driver
  
• Uninstalled keyboard driver and restarted
  
• Changed Language to German
  
• Changed language back to English UK
  

Something worked temporarily was I changed keyboard to Irish Qwerty BUT when laptop went to sleep all symbols wrong again!

Changed back to English uk qwerty and works until asleep!!

I am running Windows 11 home edition.

Please Please any suggestions?

Hi Carol,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to remove English UK and just have the default English US under keyboard input language and check.

Step 1:To keep English US as the default input language and to remove other installed services

a. Type Settings in the search bar and click on the setting symbol on the top right.

b. Click on Time and Languages.

c. Click on Region and Languages.

d. Under the languages tab.

e. Click and Change the language to English US.

Step 2:Use on screen keyboard to type the characters (@, “)

To use on-screen keyboard, follow the steps below.

a. Click on Start; type “On-screen” without quotes and hit Enter.

b. Now check if you’re able to get right characters.
