  1. Keyboard layout has Afrikaans as an option when it has not been installed


    I have English UK and Greek keyboards installed but when I switch between keyboards, Afrikaans UK is also an option. It does not show up in any lanuage settings, and when I try to install it to then uninstall it properly, it installs Afrikaans US instead, and so I can't seem to get rid of it.

    Keyboard Layout

    "Letters and numbers are all correct, but most of the other signs are misplaced"

    This suggests to me that you are using the wrong "keyboard language" for your keyboard, and that therefore you first step would be to determine exactly what language keyboard you have. Possibly have a look at Windows Keyboard Layouts - Globalization | Microsoft Docs.

    (The age of any laptop capable of running Windows 10 at all should not be a problem as regards keyboard layout)
