Windows 10: Typing Problem: Spaces between letters; language issue?

I am having trouble with typing on Windows 10 version 1709. Text appears as courier font, heavily spaced, and a drop down box usually appears showing letter options in other languages (though sometimes the box is blank). At first it was normal when using chrome, but now it happens on all browsers and when typing in the search bar on the desktop. It makes it impossible to search for things or type anything normally.

I have tried changing things in advanced language settings; no boxes are checked on the input methods or anything else. Languages are all set to English, including in Firefox which is where I first noticed the issue. I am not sure what else to check on.



This is a shared computer so I do not know if someone else changed the settings in any way - and I am very unfamiliar with Win10. Any help is appreciated.



Below is an example of what the text looks like. (I am typing this on a different computer).

I can't change keyboard language by Win + space

Hi,

This issue may arise when multiple language has been deleted accidently or when it is missing. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

• As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if multiple keyboard layout has been configured under
  Region and language settings.
• Type region and language on the search bar.
• Select Region and Language settings and check if you have installed multiple languages under a language pack.

This issue may also arise due to corruptions in Windows components and I suggest you to download and install any pending updates that needs to be installed on the computer through Windows update and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Type settings on the search bar, choose Update and Security
and click Check for Updates.

or

Press Windows key + R

Type: ms-settings:windowsupdate

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.

Thank you.
