  1. One user can’t access the @ sign


    My husband, my son and I are all users on the same laptop. Today, my son noticed that when he hit Shift+2, instead of getting the @ sign, nothing happened. This affects only him—when we switch users to my husband or me, we can get the @ sign—so it must be some user-specific setting and not the keyboard driver or something. when my son is signed in, not only can he not get the @ sign by typing Shift+2 on the external keyboard, he can’t get it by using the laptop’s built in keyboard, the Windows onscreen keyboard or the alt-code for the symbol. We spent hours Googling and troubleshooting, but we can’t figure out what’s going on. Any ideas?

      and Show frequently used folders in Quick access.
    • Click Apply and OK.
    We also suggest that you follow these steps on how to Enable Built-in Administrator

    • A Command Prompt window will open.
    • Type in or copy and paste this command:
      • net user administrator /active:yes
