    • To change the keyboard layout back to English:
      • Press the key combination that switches between keyboard layouts. Normally, this is Left Alt + Shift or Right Alt + Shift.
      • Try different key combinations until you find the one that switches back to English.

        Change Keyboard Language in Control Panel:​
