    I hope I am wrong, but I think Windows 11 appears to have a bug.I am a UK resident and as such I followed the usual steps of adding the UK keyboard and removing the US keyboard. As with most non-US users, I have done countless times over the years on XP, Vista, 8, 8.1, 10 and now 11, traditionally via the Control Panel. It usually works without issue. However, Windows 11 no longer has the Control Panel to fall back on, and the Settings app appears to be corrupted, but perhaps somebody can steer me back on track.Please see the below screenshot.

    OK! Select Language: English (United Kingdom), English (United States)


    This is basically quite simple:

    • If you have UK English physical keyboard device and Windows input language set to UK English, all characters are typed as shown on keys on your keyboard
    • If you have US English physical keyboard device and Windows input language set to UK English (or any other not matching physical keyboard / Windows input language combination), some characters will not be typed as shown on the keys. An example: US keyboard device shows the @ sign on the number key 2, and it is typed in US English input language with SHIFT + 2, but a UK English input method user gets a " from that same key. The fact that the key on keyboard shows @ is irrelevant because the chosen input method is different than physical keyboard device, therefore in this example you get " from that key
    If you are unsure, if your physical keyboard device is not that of your chosen Windows input method, open an on-screen keyboard to compare them and see what key produces what character.

    Real life example:

    My US physical keyboard device, and a few examples of the above using it with my chosen Windows input language Finnish. Took the photo just now, sorry about how dirty the keyboard is *Wink. Numbers in picture refer to explanations below the picture:

    1. My Logitech American layout keyboard device shows that the & sign is SHIFT + 7, however I get / with that keyboard combination as in Finnish layout. To get & sign I need SHIFT + 6 instead
    2. My keyboard device shows that the key #2 in picture above gives [ and {, however I get å and Å from that key
    3. My keyboard device shows that key #3 in picture gives ; and :, however I get ö and Ö from that key
    4. My keyboard device shows that SHIFT + key #4 in picture gives <, however I get semicolon ; from that key combination
    5. My keyboard device shows that SHIFT + key #5 in picture gives >, however I get colon : from that key combination
    What is written on a key on the physical keyboard device has absolutely nothing to do with what is typed with that key in Windows. The deciding factor is what input method is selected in Windows.

    About Cortana, it needs computer location and display language to match (speech for that language must be installed). I have absolutely no Cortana issues, having UK English Windows 10 display language, location set to United Kingdom, using Finnish input language with a physical American keyboard device, being physically in Germany.
