Please answer the below questions to assist you better.

1. What is the make and model of the computer?

2. Did you make any changes to the computer prior to this issue?

I suggest that you try the steps below and check if it helps.

On the search bar type “Control Panel” and then go to “Clock, Language and Region”.

Click on “Language” and on the left pane, locate “Advance Settings” and click on it.

Locate “Override on Default Input Method” click on the drop down box and choose your preferred language (English US).

Also make sure that “Override for windows display language” drop down box is set as English (US).

Click on “OK” and restart your system and check if it resolves your issue.

If you want the input language (read and type) to be French or Italian, you need to download the language pack and by following the below steps.

1. In the search option of the taskbar type Region and language and press enter.

2. If you don’t have French or Italian languages, download them by selecting “Add a language” option.

3. After adding the language follow the step 1, select the language and click on “set as default”.
