Summary
How to fix and/or add a new keyboard layout
Description
The symbol displayed on the screen is not the same symbol that was typed on the keyboard.
For example:
- When typing the: @ symbol, the: " symbol displays instead.
- When typing the: $ symbol, the: € symbol displays instead.
- When typing the letter "J" the number "1" display instead
- The numlock light is on in the keyboard
Resolution
Windows* supports different keyboard layouts. Ensure the Intel® NUC Laptop keyboard matches the layout that is applied in the Windows preferences.
| Note | An Intel NUC laptop purchased in Australia will have the UK keyboard layout. |
- To find and change the keyboard layout in Windows® 10 or Windows 11*, follow the Manage the input and display language settings in Windows instructions.
- If you see that the light on the numlk key is on , this means that the numpad keys are active. Press fn + numlk at the same time to disable the numpad function and return to the normal keys on your selected keyboard layout.
