    Laptop Keyboard symbol error

    Hi. My laptop keyboard has gone mad!!!
    A lot of the symbol characters have swapped around eg

    the "?" is now on the "_" button!

    the "&" is the "/" button

    the Hashtag is a £ sign and others have moved. Its a nightmare to type!

    I have tried and it did Not work....

    • Updated keyboard driver
    • Uninstalled keyboard driver and restarted
    • Changed Language to German
    • Changed language back to English UK
    Something worked temporarily was I changed keyboard to Irish Qwerty BUT when laptop went to sleep all symbols wrong again!

    Changed back to English uk qwerty and works until asleep!!

    I am running Windows 11 home edition.

    Please Please any suggestions?

    Using keyboard to type symbols

    Can someone tell me how to type the symbol for the Russian Ruble using the keyboard on my laptop ?

    I had a list of symbols and icons that one could write years ago but I lost it and can't find it using Google.

    Thanks, Mick

    resetting keyboard symbols

    Hi Carol,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you to remove English UK and just have the default English US under keyboard input language and check.

    Step 1:To keep English US as the default input language and to remove other installed services

    a. Type Settings in the search bar and click on the setting symbol on the top right.

    b. Click on Time and Languages.

    c. Click on Region and Languages.

    d. Under the languages tab.

    e. Click and Change the language to English US.

    Step 2:Use on screen keyboard to type the characters (@, “)

    To use on-screen keyboard, follow the steps below.

    a. Click on Start; type “On-screen” without quotes and hit Enter.

    b. Now check if you’re able to get right characters.

    Let us know if it helps or post back for further assistance, we will be glad to help.
