It is all to do with keyboard languages..

 

Go to Control Panel > Region and Languages > Keyboards and Languages tab > Change Keyboards button 

 

Set the default language for your keyboard and then remove all other keyboards. Don't forget to apply the changes

Windows 10 Pro - Start10 - part of a local network which is a '3rd party optimizer-free' zone..

Rather than doing that, read below:

It sounds like you are set up to use the US keyboard layout, but would
like to use the UK one.

To change it, go to Control Panel | Region and Language, and click the
Keyboard and Languages tab. Then click Change keyboards. and choose
the one that's right for you.
