Windows 10: UK layout keyboards unable to type single quotes or at symbols. Please help.

This applies to both my actual keyboard, AND the on screen keyboard, neither can type either symbol so long as the keyboard layout is set as such, but if i set my keyboard to a US layout, it works

Running daily with the US layout is not an option for me, and it did work at one point.

Keyboard settings (UK layout not working)

I have a UK layout keyboard (shift + 2 is "), but my computer insists on using US layout (shift + 2 is @). I use a Corsair STRAFE keyboard.

• In iCue (Corsair keyboard app), the layout is set to UK.
• In Settings app, the system language is English UK. The Preferred language is English UK, and the keyboard has one layout, English UK.
  • If I add a US keyboard to it, and use Win + Space, two options show up to cycle through:
    • English (UK) - US Keyboard
      
    • English (US) - US Keyboard
• In Control Panel main menu, there is only 'Clock and Region,' not 'Clock,
  Language, and Region.'

Please any help would be great!
