 Hi,

 

It sounds like you have the wrong keyboard layout set - ie Uk keyboard layout for a US keyboard.

 

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 relevant link below.

Hi David, Thanks for your suggestion. It worked well. I took the link you have suggested and follow the steps to change the keyboard layout to US English. Now @ symbol is perfect.
