    Didn't need to try it!! Took a telephopne call, then my daughter came and said she would fix it - and she did! As I understand it, she went to Settings, then Languages, then chose English UK  - because somehow my laptop had slipped into English USA. And that worked.

    But thanks for your suggestion. I've filed it for possible future use in case of further problems and my daughter is not available to rescue me!

    So HAPPY NEW YEAR -P

    Hi Pyrogenes

    This is caused by a Windows 10 update changing your keyboard input language . ..

    Right click your Start Button, choose Powershell (admin)

    If the @ symbol on your keyboard is above the 2, you have a US English Keyboard

    Paste this commend into Powershell and hit Enter:

    $1 = New-WinUserLanguageList en-US

    If the " symbol on your keyboard is above the 2, you have a UK English Keyboard

    Paste this commend into Powershell and hit Enter:

    $1 = New-WinUserLanguageList en-GB

    Then, Paste this commend into Powershell and hit Enter:

    Set-WinUserLanguageList $1

    Close Powershell and restart your PC

    That's It!
