Windows 10: Quotation marks switch with the @ symbol

The quotation mark and @ symbol occasionally switch. I can write for hours in Word or other programs/apps and then suddenly instead of quotes, I get the @ symbol. It's a real pain. The only solution I have found is to restart my computer. Obviously this is a hassle to do every time. Why does this keep happening? And what can I do to permanently put a stop to it. It's driving me crazy.

Keyboard substitutes quotation marks for the AT symbol ?

My AT symbol is above a single quotation mark within the body of the keyboard - next row under the qwerty line!

A double quotation mark is above the 2 !

Just thought I'd check your instructions are still valid in that case before I make any changes.....thank you

 

crazy quotation marks

when I type quotation marks the first one is inverted and at the bottom of the line, the second, turned around. eg.: „of new possibilities“

This is happening in only one document. and the only soultion is to cut and past every correct quotation mark.

I have read all the similar questions and no one has suggested a correction that works. There are lots of language related suggestions but all solutions thus far have failed. Please give explicit instructions.

Please, please help!

 

Keyboard substitutes quotation marks for the AT symbol ?

This happens because your keyboard layout is changed to UK from US where @ symbol appears where " symbol is there.

Step 1. Windows Key+I to invoke Settings > Time & Language > Region & Language > Add English (US) or any other appropriate language.

Remove English (UK) or any other language which you didn't need (Note - This is optional. If you don't want to remove, then go to Step 2)

Reboot your computer

Step 2. This step may be needed if step 1 doesn't work or you don't want to remove languages in step 1

While you are in Region & Language, click Additional date, time & regional settings > Click change input methods > Advanced Settings

Under Override for default input methods, choose US(English) or appropriate language.

Reboot your computer

(Note, here you will also find Switching Input Methods under Advanced Settings > Change language Bar hot keys. Here you have hot keys for changing language which must have been pressed inadvertently. This hot key can be used to switch languages)
