Hi Marty,

The keyboard layout would have changed on your computer. Please follow the steps mentioned below to change it on your Windows 8 computer.

1. The first thing we need to do is launch the Control Panel, you can do this by pressing the Win + R keyboard combination and type in ‘Control Panel’ and click on ‘OK’.
2. Switch to the small icons view by selecting the drop down from the top right corner.
3. Select the Language option.
4. On the right-hand side you will see an ‘options’ hyperlink, click on it.
5. ON the next screen you will be able to add and remove keyboard layouts.
6. So add ‘US’ country under the ‘Input method’ section.

If you have Windows 7 or older operating system, please follow the steps mentioned from the link below.
