Windows 10: Cannot get out of French keyboard even though language is at English US

All my speaking quotations and question marks are being turned into É or È. I looked it up and came across many posts as such, every one of them saying to take French out of your languages. I donèt have French in there though, checked the entire thing, itès all American English. I need to hand assignments in and it canèt look like this.

Keyboard languages are all over the place (English US/Canada, Canadian French)

I have to switch between multiple keyboard languages on a daily basis with Windows+Space, but the keyboard languages are all over the place, making switching between languages extremely annoying. I have a keyboard with US layout. These happen on both my
desktop and my laptop.

When I say "French (Canada)" or "Français (Canada)", I refer to the windows language.

When I say "Canadian French" and "Canadian French (Legacy)", I refer to the keyboard layouts

1. I have set Canada as my location, as it is where I live, but this causes the keyboard to randomly have both
English (United States) and
English (Canada) as languages despite the fact that I only have
English (United States) with
US keyboard in languages. They are exactly the same and I would like to somehow get rid of
English (Canada). Usually there is only one of them.

2. My french settings keep randomly switching. I usually use the Canadian French keyboard layout and I only have Canadian French in the languages settings under
French (Canada)

Sometimes, "Canadian French (Legacy)" (which behaves very differently when it comes to accents) is added and selected. I have never added "Canadian French (Legacy)" myself and it is not listed in settings despite appearing
in the language bar and being selectable and usable. In other words, it randomly adds and switches keyboards.

I used to be able to fix this by going into Languages/Français (Canada), adding some random layout (like dutch or whatever) so that I can remove
Canadian French (as it's the only one listed despite the fact that both
Canadian French and Canadian French (Legacy) are in the language bar), re-adding
Canadian French, and finally removing the random layout I added. This fix only works temporarily as it can happen again at any time and when rebooting.

This is driving me crazy as I have to switch between 4 different languages often (for example, accessing both french and english quotation marks) and this messes up big time with my muscle memory of Windows+Spacing to switch. If I miss the language I was
aiming for, I have to press space through all the list to get back where I was. My language bar also becomes pretty huge.

Keyboard languages are all over the place (English US/Canada, Canadian French)

Hi Yetong,

In order for me to address your concern, I would like to know the following:

• What is the version and build of your Windows 10?
  • You can have this checked by pressing the Windows button + R on your keyboard to open the Run box, then type winver and press Enter.
• Just to clarify, are you trying to perform the following:
  • Keep the keyboard layout on English (US).
  • Remove the
    English (Canada).
  • Keep Frech (Canada) as you language.

In the meantime, I suggest for you to try removing other languages under
French (Canada) and also adding a keyboard layout on the language itself. This way we'd be able to isolate the issue further. By doing this, this would ensure that the system langauge would be the language of your choice and the keyboard layout based
on the language of your choice. Be advised to ensure that you choose the
QWERTY format available for your language of your choice, or a keyboard format (e.g. QWERTY, AZERT, etc.) of the language of your choice.

I'll be waiting for your response to assist you further.
