  1. Strange typing problem involving the UK layout "At" symbol and apostrophe.


    I am asking here because i cant find a solution anywhere else aside from changing my keyboard to US layout, but for some reason, i cannot type the At or apostrophe in windows, even using the on screen keyboard, unless i change my layout.

    I have verified that this is not a dead key already, by physically testing the switch on my keyboard, and also binding the key to an alternate function, which worked, but i still cannot type the symbol.

  2. Computer Keeps Typing Apostrophe's

    Hi, it types apostrophe's as soon as I turn on the computer. I can type another key, or press backspace to stop the Horde of apostrophe's, but when I let go, it starts again. My keyboard is a Logitech K60 with a Logitech M215 mouse. I couldn't find a model number sticker for this computer, but I know it's an HP laptop. T keyboard was working fine for a month, then this started happening. I cannot access my computer, because I need to log in with my Microsoft account to do that, which I can't because of this problem.

    wtf The e tm symbol was 2 question marks and a with upside v above it when I copied and pasted the test email but then changed to e tm after I hit reply. Those strange symbols are taking place of my apostrophe's.

    UK keyboard layout at symbol key and grave key does not work

    My at symbol key, inbetween the letter L and # key, and the grave key left of the number 1 key has stopped working. Im sure it is not a keyboard issue as, when i keep UK qwerty layout, even using the on-screen keyboard, those key inputs do not get registered.
    however when i switch to US qwerty the issue no longer exists and i am able to produce the at symbol with shift+2 and the quotation marks with what would have been the at symbol key on a UK qwerty layout.
