My keyboard changed a few months ago.  The @ moved to the " key and I have no pound sterling key.  How can I fix my keyboard.  I'm on windows 10. Thanks.

Hi,

 

It sounds like you have the wrong keyboard layout set.

 

If you have more than one keyboard layout set in Windows 10, you can toggle between them by holding down the Ctrl Key and pressing the Shift key

 

Alternatively, you can change the layout for your keyboard as described on the link below.

Thank you.  Pressing and holding down the Windows key then pressing the space bar allowed me to toggle between the 2 keyboard settings (which I didn't know I had).  Problem solved.

yes my  keyboard was printing the European pound sign for money when I wanted to print the hashtag or pound sign. pressing the Windows Shift key and spacebar combination fixed the problem and let me switch between three different input languages.
