Remove keyboard from device manager and then let it reinstall it by scanning for hardware changes

Or if you go control panel > Regional and Language Settings > Keyboard tab then remove keyboard US and reload it back

Ah! Nevermind, I just had to change my system locale back to English (South Africa). Tried to play a korean game a few days ago but you have to "look" like a korean computer to launch the game. :rolleyes:
