My less than symbol is now ;

My greater than symbol is now :

My and symbol is now / and my at symbol is now "

My computer was working just fine yesterday and the day before. I went to work, I came home, and now my symbols on my HP laptop keyboard are mixed up, but just some of them.

Nobody else has access to my laptop and nobody knows my password. My husband is out of town and my kids were at school, so no one touched my keyboard since I used it last.

Please help me figure this out!

Hello, this is Emily.

For the @ sign, do you normally use Shift + 2? If so, some key combo you accidently pressed might have switched your keyboard language to a different layout.

If you press Windows + Space keys, it should launch your language input menu from the taskbar. Make sure you select English (United States). See if that corrects the issue.
