Windows 10: Keyboard Keeps Changing - Please Help

For five days now my keyboard keeps on changing to some weird configuration.

apostrophes are transposed, closing parentheses have a slash - eg /)
question marks have a plus - eg +?

and it ' s doing my head in!

I solved it with windows button plus space bar to flip back to the US keyboard layout. Then did CTRL SHIFT to ..... to whatever .......... somehow it worked.

The next day it did not work despite numerous attempts then suddenly did.
The next day again........no idea how I actually fixed it but somehow I did.
Yesterday, I fixed it by updating firefox - weird but true!!!!
Today.............well.................I don' t know.

I can fix the apostrophe problem by remembering to type a space before an apostrophe but damn it, (!!!!! ) I shouldn't have to and I shouldn' t have to reinsert a cursor and backs pace to get rid of the slash before a parenthesis.

I'm using Windows 10 Version 18362.665
