Hi,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft community.

We understand the inconvenience caused and we will try our best to resolve the issue.

This issue may occur when you are not choosing the correct keyboard layout.

To assist you better, I like to know; are you able to view the Japanese language pack, in your system?

To check this, follow the below path.

Type language in the search area in the task bar and select
Language > check for the Japanese language pack.

If the Japanese language pack is listed among the language pack list then you need to select the Japanese language keyboard layout.



To select the Japanese language keyboard layout, press
Windows key + space key on your keyboard and Select the
Japanese language keyboard.

Keyboard Layout

"Letters and numbers are all correct, but most of the other signs are misplaced"

This suggests to me that you are using the wrong "keyboard language" for your keyboard, and that therefore you first step would be to determine exactly what language keyboard you have. Possibly have a look at Windows Keyboard Layouts - Globalization | Microsoft Docs.

(The age of any laptop capable of running Windows 10 at all should not be a problem as regards keyboard layout)
