  1. Keyboard incorrectly displays the wrong characters.


    Microsoft Sculpt wireless keyboard 1531. Did a Windows 10 update, now the keyboard will not work. It displays the wrong characters, for instance when I press the "b"-key it displays "By" and when I press the "o"-key it displays ";o". I tried it on two different laptops; same problem (the two laptops are a Surface and a Dell, both running Windows 10). I tried changing the batteries (two different sets), still does not work correctly. The keys incorrectly display the wrong characters on both laptops.

    :)

  3. Microsoft Edge incorrectly displaying accents

    I am experiencing a problem when I browse French web sites with Microsoft Edge incorrectly displaying characters with accents.

    When I type a URL (e.g. https://www.leboncoin.fr/electromenager/offres/aquitaine/?th=1&parrot=0) Microsoft edge displays the accent over the e with no problem. If I then select one of the advertisements and view it everything still appears correctly.
    However, when I then use the browser return arrow to go back to the list, all the accents (circumflex, acute and agrave) have all been replaced by the Unicode
    � REPLACEMENT CHARACTER U+FFFD (black diamond containing a white question mark)

    This problem does not appear in Internet Explorer 11 - I can freely browse the sites without any characters being incorrectly displayed. I've tried switching language settings and keyboard - but the problem persists.
