Win10 how to correct key settings/language

Hi,

I am not on Win10 at the moment. In my Win10 PC I cannot use Notepad or MS
Word, because the all the special keys like ?, !, ', @, # map to the wrong
characters. I am in Canada. and use English. This does not happen always,
but happens now after a reboot. ....

I just rebooted and the problem went away in Notepad and Word. Thanks.

Any technical thoughts on the nature of the phenomenon would be educational.

Thanks again.

I see a tutorial here. Be careful if doing any "remove" operation!

The part I couldn't figure out, some years ago, is why the
layout would change mid-sentence. It was some modifier key
I must have been typing, but I couldn't figure out what
that was. I removed the French option from my English/French
laptop, and after that it could no longer switch to French
in the middle of a sentence.
