Left Alt and Windows keys are swapped on my laptop

So the title is basically my problem. The left alt key and the windows key are swapped. I have no idea how this came to be and I really do not know how to fix this. Any help would be great.

Edit: I tried using the on-screen keyboard and the functions are still the same. They haven't been changed

Happened to me! I figured it out. If your keyboard is anything like mine where there is a "Windows/Android" & "iOS/Mac" switch, check if the switch is on "Windows" mode. Hope that helps.

(I have the Keychron K2).

Hi Eliandre,

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this.

The solution may depend on your keyboard, try each of the following keyboard shortcuts one at a time to see if that switches those keys back:

Fn + A

Fn + S

Fn + Space Bar for 3 seconds

If none of those work for you:

Open Device Manager

Expand the Keyboards section

Right click your keyboard and choose 'Uninstall'

Then restart (not shut down) your PC
