My keyboard acting strange: ' apostrophe, ~ tilde character need to press keyboard two times to get it appear in Windows 11

• Apostrophes and double quotes don't show up until I type the next letter, 
• Windows 10 changed how quotation marks work. How do I fix this?, 
• Why I have to press keys two times to get the ^ or ´ or ` symbol in Windows 7 and how can I fix it? [duplicate], 
• My windows keyboard is being "clever" with the quote keys - how can I stop it?, 
• Quotes and double quotes appear twice after keyboard press,

and many other strange twice pressing actions on keyboard. 

The solution? 

Change your 'Installed keyboards' to US QWERTY. 

Steps: 

1. Win + X, go for Settings, (or search Settings), 
2. Time & Language, 
3. Language & region, 
4. Under 'Preferred languages' is your installed language(s) appear. Click on triple dots on the right side of 'English (United Stated), 
5. Choose another three dots 'Language options', 
6. Scroll for Keyboards, 
7. Here you need to add the better keyboard that didn't need to press twice: click on 'Add a keyboard', 
8. Scroll to look for US QWERTY keyboard. Click on it to add as your keyboard.
   
9. Next is to remove the twice pressing keyboard (that is United States-International QWERTY) keyboard > click on the triple dots on it's right,
   
10. Remove, 
11. Basically you're done up to this point. But for extra confirmation, please Restart your pc ASAP. To really makes it use the new keyboard settings. 
12. Done!
