I have run into this extremely frustrating issue. I've had this laptop from around Christmas and it has worked fine up until recently. The keyboard physically is laid out with the UK English language, however, recently it has changed digitally to US without prompting. I was literally in the middle of doing work and I noticed it had changed. The @ Symbol and " has swapped, there are various changes with the numbers' alternative symbols and I am constantly being told I am spelling English words incorrectly.
I know how to fix the issue, but It wont work. All it should require is a simple change in the language in Control Panel > Language. However, my computer says it's already on UK English and American English isn't even installed. My old laptop has changed to American English too, as both share the same Windows log-in. I Am allowed to "Remove" the English language, but not American one of which it tells me is not even installed. Its makes no sense as this is an English laptop. I very rarely have issues with computers, but this one has really stumped me.
Is this a well known glitch with the operating system? Or are there even more hidden settings somewhere?
Thank you.
