• Problémy s klávesnicí
• Windows 10

If your @ and ” keys have swapped on Windows 10, you’re probably wondering what has happened and how you can fix it.

It can be a frustrating issue to deal with, especially if it seemingly swaps back and forth between keys randomly. Sometimes it can be confusing to even know how to get your “ and @ keys back to the right key buttons.

Let’s take a look at why this is happening in the first place and then we’ll offer some solutions that should get your keyboard working with the right keys again. In most cases, the solution is straightforward.

Also, check out our short YouTube video below where we go through everything in the article.

First, you need to figure out if you have a UK or US keyboard. This is easy to do. Look at the first three number keys on your keyboard and refer to the chart above. An @ on the 2 key means it’s US, and an apostrophe means it’s a UK keyboard.

Once you understand which keyboard you have, you can choose the corresponding language setting through the steps listed below.

Change Default Language Settings

The next step is to change your Windows 10 language settings. To do this, press Start and type Jazyk. Pak klikněte na tlačítko nastavení jazyka.

Next, take a look at the preferred language settings. Click the arrow to make sure that the language you’d like to use is at the top of the list. If you have an @ symbol on your 2 key, United States English should be at the top. If you have an “ symbol on your 2 key, United Kingdom English should be at the top.

Alternatively, you can click the language option you won’t use and click odstranit. This should stop your PC from switching between the two language options at any time.

If for any reason you do want to keep multiple languages, you can always switch between them at any time by clicking the language button on the taskbar, to the left of the time.

This is useful for when you’re typing and suddenly the @ and “ keys are swapped as you are typing. It happens because you accidentally pressed the Klávesa Windows + mezerník at the same time – this will cycle through the languages.

Install Firmware To Stop @ & “ Keys Swapping

Sometimes keyboards have firmware that can mess up with your language settings, which may mean you run into issues even after following the steps above.

To fix this, the first thing you should do is install any supporting software for your keyboard. For example, Razer keyboards use Razer Synapse.

The next step is to ensure your default language on Windows 10 is correct and corresponds with your keyboard. Click Home a typ jazyky. Pak klikněte na tlačítko nastavení jazyka znovu.

When the language settings page opens, make sure you have the right display language based on your keyboard. Refer to the chart at the beginning again if you’re unsure which to choose.

Dále restartujte počítač.

Reset Drivers Or Update Drivers To Stop @ & “ Keys Switching

The final troubleshooting option is to reset and reinstall your keyboard drivers. To do this :

• Press the Start button and type Správce zařízení.
• Klikněte na Správce zařízení když se objeví ve výsledcích vyhledávání.

• On device manager, open the dropdown arrow for keyboards.
• Double-click the top option and then click the řidič Karta.
• klikněte Odinstalujte zařízení.
• klikněte Odinstalovat.

Your keyboard will now no longer work but we can fix that quickly.

Use your mouse to click the magnification button in the settings. Your PC will install the drivers for your keyboard again. Next, restart your PC.
