Windows 10: Windows now thinks that A and Ä are the same letter — again

Discus and support Windows now thinks that A and Ä are the same letter — again in Windows 10 Software and Apps to solve the problem; Windows now — again — thinks that A and Ä are the same letter. Or O and Ö. They're not. A is the first letter and Ä is the second last in my language.... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Software and Apps' started by Supersoundzzz, Oct 12, 2023.

  1. Windows now thinks that A and Ä are the same letter — again


    Windows now — again — thinks that A and Ä are the same letter. Or O and Ö. They're not. A is the first letter and Ä is the second last in my language. O is the fifteenth letter and Ö is the last one. They are in no way interchangeable. It's the same as treating A as E, I or — say — O. Also files sorted by title show me files starting with A and Ä both under A. If a thing can be more wrong than this, I can't think of one right now. The numbers still seem to be same, though: the first number 0 is not clumped under the last number 9 when I sort my files on explorer.

  3. Typing umlauts in German on Windows 10 (ä, ö, ü + ß)

    Is there are a way to type stated above letters for German without typing alt + {four numbers that no one will remember}? Really annoying because I am using an 85% keyboard, and the alt + {four numbers} thing only works with a numpad, plus I'd rather use
    for instance alt + a to type ä instead of alt + 0228 and maybe alt + shift + a to type Ä instead of alt + 0196.

    ä and ö letters displaying wrong in file names that I download

    Hello.

    My problem is that when I download a file that contains "ä" or "ö" letters in the file name they are displayed wrong in the downloaded file name. If I download same file with Mozilla Firefox the file name is correct in the downloaded file.

    For example:

    File name is:

    "Tiivistelmä - Työturvallisuus (pdf)"

    I download it on my pc (win 10, MS Edge)

    Name in the downloaded files is like this:

    "Tiivistelmä - Työturvallisuus (pdf)"

    Somehow it changes those letters wrong, but if I use Mozilla Firefox to download the same file, the name will be correct.

    How to fix this in MS Edge or should I quit using it?

    -Sam

  10. Windows thinks same size monitors are different?

    Windows thinks same size monitors are different?: So I just got a 1440p monitor to compliment the 4k monitor I got when I built my PC. They both are 27” but obviously are different resolutions. When I go to arrange my screens, the 1440p monitor shows as smaller than the 4k monitor, despite them being the same size. Any idea...
