    Windows 10- trying not to admit weakness

    Preface this with 'I'm not that much of a newb'. But this has me beaten.

    Windows 10 keeps switiching my keyboard layout.
    Like every few restarts, or sleep cycles, it switches the keyboard language to UK engish where the quotation marks show as the 'at' symbol (and vice versa).
    Hash symbol shows as the pound symbol.
    I DRIVE A LANDY BUT I'M NOT THAT BRITISH!!! It's driving me barmy!

    I've tried deleting the UK english language from the language and input settings, and I can fix it by changing the language settings, but I want to lock in one language once and for all.

    Was the windows install a clean install or an upgrade?

    Seen a few boxes with this issue and they're all upgrades. Not seen it on a clean install..

    Don't have a fix other than a clean install, sorry

    Hi Toxic,

    Looking for solution i came across this

    In Windows 10, by default, pressing CTRL+SHIFT will cycle through any keyboard layouts that you might have mapped and it's surprisingly easy to do this by mistake.

    Very handy to know.

    Keyboard language keeps changing in Windows 10 - Super User

    That may help

    I think the default keyboard language change option is windows key+Space.

    Yes, inc, I have an upgrade. I'm due for a clean install, so should give it a shot! Cheers

    I had similar - didn't notice it changing but was set to the wrong thing.

    There are two settings - one is for language (for spell checker etc - choose whatever you like)
    and one is for keyboard which should be English - US
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Taking into account I cannot reasonably say what I'd really wanted to say about your silly mac... yes, let's call it that.
    Do you have a right mouse button yet?
