Get Rid of É on Keyboard
Find yourself typing away and go to hit the Question Mark and have É instead?
- press CTRL+SHIFT (press CTRL first and while holding press SHIFT, sometimes you have to do it twice in a row to disable.)

Update for Windows 10
There are two ways to find the keyboard settings in Windows 10.
- check your Task Bar at the bottom of your screen (look for ENG)|:
- Update your keyboard by clicking the appropriate language
- Go to the Settings to find keyboard settings (to find Settings – simply click the Windows logo and start typing ‘settings‘ or click on the small Gear Icon in the start menu)
- Click on the Devices menu
- Scroll down and select Typing
- Scroll down to Advanced Settings
- Select the drop-down menu and choose the appropriate language
- Click on the Devices menu
Update your keyboard as required. This should prevent unwanted characters from showing up.

Very informative post. I really do hope and pray this stuff works!
I have tried all of these things and I nothing has changed.
The question mark symbol gives É
the slash symbol gives a é
apostrophe symbol gives a è
quotation mark symbol È
right square bracket ^^ (you have to hit it twice)
left square bracket ç
right parentheses ¨¨ (you have to hit it twice)
left parentheses Ç
backslash (above the ENTER key) à
pipe symbol À
On my Taskbar the word ENG does not appear at all, just the symbol for the touch keyboard.
Truly at a loss here
Thanks for sharing this information, I really enjoyed your storytelling style.
As a practicing author, I have always adopted an intuitive logic it felt to focus on the subject -> come up with ideas/answers ->
put it on paper. However, nothing could save me when I
was writing concerning thermodynamics, for instance, that, as you
can imagine, is not my principal field of experience.
Anyway, I took some Wonderful tips from the writing style, thanks for that)
Huge thanks! I have bought 3 keyboards so far, and was using 2 keyboards at a time to get this to work!. Finally solved!
I used this method to remove the CMS from system but it “comes back” after several days. Guess the Canadian francophones love their “ÉǨÈÀ”s too much and have to share iit with the world.
Is there a way to completely remove or hide anything Canadian from “windows display language” menu?
Thank you; I just figured it out logically from what you told others about ctrl/shft! Sorry to take your time 🙂
I have had this issue for some time, and have always fixed it by selecting the Eng Us option in the lower right-hand menu on the screen. What I would like to know, however, is what I am hitting on my keyboard to cause this to keep happening, so I can hopefully stop doing it. It happens several times a day and I am quite sick of it. Can you please help?
hi Karin – this is the combination of CTRL+SHIFT that enables this.
Many thanks, the accent it was my problem too!.
Very nice post!

Just saved me a tone of time – the Ctrl+shift worked for me.
I’ve had this before and it usually means all connections have to be closed and a full reset.
Not Today, Thank you
good article!
Absolutley none of these Fixes worked for me and I am still having issues. IS there any other way?
ALT+Shift
Thank you! ALT Shift works
Turns out I just had to change the right language in the bottom corner by the clock.
Thank you!

You’re welcome. Hopefully you get some of that 10 minutes back 😉
Hi Patrick,
I tried all of your suggestions for windows 10, but it does not seem to work.
Typing
Advanced keyboard settings
English (Canada) -US
Go back (since there is no ÈsaveÈ or ÈOKÈ button
Language seems changed but I still get the same È character. Please help!
Try Windows Key + Space bar – make sure you have the right language in the bottom corner by the clock. Then try CTRL+Shift again.
Nothing worked for me until I tried the windows key with the space bar.. Thank you!!????
Hi, I’m using Windows through parallels on my Mac. When I’m on windows the / becomes an e. I tried everything you suggested but nothing has changed. Is there anything else you could suggest my trying?
