Hello Supporting Team,

I would like to ask how to reset my keyboard? Combination of "Alt + L " gives weird characters and message is sent automatically. I am from Poland and this is the one missing native special character. Avoiding this letter is possible without losing a sense of the message, but the worse problem is that after combination of "Alt + L", the two question marks appear and message sends automatically.

Kindly asking for any kind of guidance.

    Hello @Huy-K , thank you for your instructions and link given. I have added new keyboard, Polish, moved to the top, removed affected one, wait till the end of installation, disconnect to my AVD and after second connection "ł" letter (Alt + L) is working as expected. Thread may be closed, thank you !

    Reset Keyboard Settings

    • Open Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region.
    • Add a temporary language (e.g., English US), move it to the top, restart.
    • Move your original language (Polish) back to the top, restart again.
    • Remove the temporary language. This forces Windows to reload the keyboard layout. How to reset Keyboard settings to default in Windows 11/10
