My keyboard keys are acting strange, when I press caps lock it gives me ` instead and same others listed below:

Caps lock = `

N = n6

B =b5

5=b5

6 =n6

prnt sc = #

= =-

Delete key is also acting strange.  Happened after I used the screen to watch a movie but didn't turn on tablet mode so keys were resting on table surface. 

Is there anyway I can change this? I feel like there must be some kind of lock on but I cant work out which. Tried a system restore from before this happened but it didn't work. 

thanks!

Hi

I would try the keyboard in

Control Panel        Region    

and there is a drop down menu for the country, and the keyboard should then match.

To try and differentiate between the actual keyboard and software associated with it, consider...

Thank you, yes I can use the touch keyboard if needed But its hard to type an essay on! I was hoping it was some kind of fn lock or something, guess I should buy an external keyboard or something. Thanks for your help tho

Hi

 

If the On-Screen keyboard is correctly displaying, then I suggest yuo do a DEEP scan for Malware, Rootkits, Trojans etc with something like MalwareBytes if you have not already done so.

 

Just as test of your keyboard mappings...
