Windows 10: Hot keys

Hi. I have been provided a Lenovo laptop for work. While getting everything set I have noticed a lot of the hot keys are mixed up. When I press shift + (` 2 3 or ') or even the hash tag button without shift they give me the wrong symbol. I have tried running the troubleshooting, which says no action is needed. I have also uninstalled the keyboard driver and reinstalled it. All to no avail. Is there a way I can set what the keys should do, or is it simply a malfunctioning laptop?

If you want to disable 'Hot keys related to Display" in Windows 10,

Kindly follow these steps.

1. Right click on desktop

2. If you see Graphics Options, you can 'disable' Hot keys in sub menu itself.

3. If you see Graphics properties, in Options and Support, you can 'disable' Hot keys.

If Hot keys (Shortcut keys) are in Multimedia keyboard, you can use software associated with it, you can enable or disable the hot keys from the keyboard itself.
