Windows 10: @ symbol disabled on UK language

Hi,I recently changed some language settings in windows to remove the US english setting and leave only the UK ones. When I do this the @ symbol becomes disabled, even on the on-screen keyboard. The only way I can get this to now work is to reinstall the US language and change the keyboard layout to US,. This leaves my " and @ keys as opposite to my physical keyboard.Any help on how to enable the @ symbol with UK language and keyboard settings would be appreciated.Thanks.

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.

 

Typing language problem

Why is Use language list only showing UK, and not US as another option in view of the steps I have taken to install it and put it at the top of my list? What is the' language bar', referred to? I don't think I have ever seen it, or am not recognising it if I had. And why is Keyboard shown as English UK when Settings is opened?

 

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?
