Hi, my name is Doug and you are watching VisiHow. Today I am going to show you a problem that has happened to me several times and I have figured out how to solve the problem. It happens when I am typing a word like "Hello?" and instead a crazy E symbol will appear like this: "Helloè".

How do I type a backslash? I am adding some more irrelevant information here also in the hopes that the question is now long enough to ask?
I was sold this absolutely horrible keyboard and can't type a backslash. I am doing forms online and need the backslash. I would love to get rid of this keyboard entirely also. Your article talks about question marks. That is not my problem. I cannot find a way to type a backslash, either on the question mark key or on the # symbol.
I have tried to go to the control panel and change the settings but my settings are not the same as the instructions.
All I want to do is type a backslash.
I have been online for close to an hour trying to type a backslash.

It's only happening in Outlook and the control shift isn't helping?
? vs E with an accent. I am getting an accented E rather than a ? in Outlook when I am typing up emails. I can't find the US keyboard icon on the bottom of my screen and I am in Outlook not notebook. When I try the control shift it doesn't work. I opened Word and it seems fine.

Please do help, thank you! Windows 7, can't change keyboard?
Hi,. My keyboard is stuck on English Canada multi-lingual and I can't change it no matter what I do! There are no hot keys to erase in advanced settings, and the CTRL-SHIFT combo doesn't work to change the offending character back to normal. What can I do, please. I would love to erase the multi-lingual and get along with American English, but when I try the remove button, my other language, that I need, is also erased.. In other words, the change-settings options don't work for me. I should also add, perhaps, that I'm on a British laptop.I don't know what else I can add, so Ièm going to try an experiment and see if that helps. . Thank you!. I don't know what else I can add.

What is region and language on windows 10 setting to change keyboard?
On windows 10 we have just region and there is no keyboard thingy so I can't change it. when I go to keyboard setting normally it says that the è and é setting isn't on and I can't change it, its really annoying because I'm trying to write an essay in french and when I put an apostrophe it goes è. I can't find the region and language on windows 10 settings.

How to get rid of weird symbols like É when punctuation like a question mark is pressed on the keyboard?
You suggest to click Keyboards and Languages - I do not see that option. I have chosen Canada as my Region and English (US) as the language - but I am still getting the É I do not see an option for keyboards and languages. I have tried: I have tried pressing Ctrl and holding it while pressing SHIFT and done it more than once I have held Windows and then pressed space bar many times. I think it was caused by: I must have pressed a combination of keys that changed the keyboard settings
