    Have to press quotation key twice, why?


    So Windows 11 keeps "resetting" my keyboard settings, without actually changing my keyboard. I have to press the quotation marks twice to type it, irrespective of which keyboard option I choose. I don't even think at this point the option in settings does anything. It's extremely frustrating when Windows 11 keeps changing how my keyboard works, without my input, or approval. MS fix this!!!

    :)

    Have to double press quotation mark to get it printed

    It is really annoying that I have to press quotation mark twice or press another key to get it printed on the screen. Please, advise how to change this annoying behaviour.

    Hi 陳郁佳, my name is Max and I'm an independent advisor.

    What keyboard layout are you using? I suppose it is the US International keyboard layout that requires pressing the quotation key twice.

    I advise that you take the following steps.

    Navigate to the Settings ->Time & Language -> Languages tab -> Click on English International and select Options ->Change it to English US.

    Dumb Windows 10 quotation mark input

    I've tired to fight against Windows 10 input method. It's stupid and extremely irritating. I have English United States-International keyboard and when I press ' or Shift+' no characters are printed to input. Only when I press the same key again again it
    outputs two same characters. So when I want to put some thing to quotation mark I must do next steps:

    • Press Shift+'
    • Press Shift+'
    • Press left arrow
    • Input text
    • Press right arrow
    Compare with previous flow

    • Press Shift+'
    • Input text
    • Press Shift+'
    Looks much more simple? Yes? So, what the hell made you MS to "improve" quotation mark inputting? And so what I have to do if I just <removed> want to input only one quotation mark character? Press Shift+' twice and after then backspace? Are you <removed>
    crazy? Where in settings maze are you hiding option to fix this issue? Who is that "genius" who invented this <removed>? When MS hired this "genius" did
    the interview checked competency or there was
    senseless questions like "Why manhole covers are typically round"? Who did approve this "genius" improvement? Are you <removed>OK?
