The default key combination to change the keyboard layout is Left Shift Key + Alt Key. So, if by any chance the layout had changed, you will need to reset the layout to whatever was default to you.
Tip: Press WinKey + U to invoke the accessibility options, and choose the onscreen keyboard. You can then use it to see what exactly are you typing.

Did your girlfriend change the password yesterday?
It was broke, so I fixed it.
|
|
|
|
|
That's why you password should always be 1234.

Hey, that's _my_ password.

I lost around a week of work recently when we joined a new network.
The issue was that my password kept failing.
To prove I was not making a mistake we used notepad to check what I was typing.
Then someone remotely connected to my computer and they could not log in using my password either.
So they used notepad and discovered a character used in the password was being returned as a different character when they were connecting remotely.
So even though the language and region on my computer were set to UK the keyboard was sending US keys through at the point of the initial log in - it was flipping infuriating and it really did take a week to get the the bottom of the issue...
So strange things can happen with the BIOS and keyboard at startup...

could also be the keyboard stuck on numlock if it's a laptop (so iop come out as 789) or stuck on windows key mode (my computer does that sometimes so R is registering as windows+R etc) - fix that by pressing windows key once...

Had a similar problem some time ago:
An elephanting MS wireless keyboard sends some chars typed in twice! I recognized it by counting the bullets in the password input field and found more than expected. Using the user name input field, I saw what happened. Everything was fine again after replacement of the nearly discharged batteries.

I recommend trying a different keyboard - it may be a mechanical problem.

On an internet shop[^] I found this screen, Samsung S24B350H[^]
On the screen specification page it says it has a resolution of 1900x1080
But on the internet shop, in the one liner about it they say 1900x1200.
So which one it is?
I'm looking hard for screen supporting the 1900x1200 resolution, but they seems to have all disappeared!!!

The samsung website[^] says 1900*1080 so I would assume the one-liner is wrong.

1900x1200 - isn't that regular shape? widescreen would always be 1900x1080 I guess.

That's 1080p, TV size, it's also cheaper to make panels that size apparently which is why us people who could actually use the extra 120p get screwed.
And on main topic: There are some DELLs @ 1900x1200 still around, IPS panels even.

It's a typo, look at the actual specifications on the internet shop page.

For Elephants Sake people, it's 1920x1080 and 1920x1200.
