About this tag
On WindowsForum.com, the tag 'accent' covers two distinct topics. One is the United States-International keyboard layout, where users report that accent character input (like ^ followed by e to produce ê) stopped working after a Windows update, and they seek solutions. Another is the Windows 11 personalization setting where the start menu and action center fail to adopt the user's chosen accent color, often due to a corrupted profile. The tag also appears in PowerToys discussions, but only as a minor mention in titles or excerpts, not as a primary focus. There is also a single off-topic post about British English accents.
