As I was trying to type in my e-mail address the @ symbol had become a " so, of course, it wouldn't work.

Kept trying and then hit on the idea of typing the " on the top row of the keyboard and lo and behold I got the @ sign. Not a problem but how can this happen. Gremlins??

If you have more than one keyboard language turned on, the language that you're using will appear in the status area. To switch your language, press Ctrl + Shift + Space until you see the language that you prefer.

You can also use the status area:

  1. Click the status area, where your account picture appears.
  2. Click your keyboard language

  3. Click the keyboard language that you want to use from the list that appears

Definitely got a 'non-UK' keyboard set up ... my little notebook is a physical European keyboard model so the actual keys are marked differently from a UK one. Hubby has changed it to UK in the settings but obviously the downside is that the icons on the keys don't match what they actually are! Fortunately with being a touch typist I don't have to look at the keys to find the right one but for hubby I've had to put some stickers on the keys so he knows what's what! :D

Well I went into settings and yep it had somehow changed to the English US. Changed that and the input settings but it is still not right. Getting the " instead of @ Any more ideas?

Have you restarted it? Some changes don't take effect until you do.

I've done it - usual trick, switch it off, switch it back on again.
Thanks you one and all.

Some W10 updates caused mine to revert to US English. Unfortunately I can't remember which one(s).
