The question mark is on the forward slash key. To type a question mark, just press and hold 'Shift' on your keyboard and while holding 'Shift' press the '/' key (right next to shift). Pressing 'shift' also helps you capitalize letters when typing, and if there is a key with a symbol on the bottom and a symbol on the top, pressing 'shift' and that key inserts the top symbol on the computer screen where you are typing. Without pressing shift, the symbol on the bottom of the key will be inserted.


My question mark and slash buttons are looking like an e with an accent on it or a large E with an accent on it........how do i change?

It's because when you went to type something, you had hit the left shift key along with ctrl. Hold in leftshift and ctrl for about 2-4 seconds, and you should get your question mark back. Hope this helped. :)To make it so it never happens again, go to> control panel> region and language> keyboards and languages> change keyboards> then remove every other language except for English (us) or whatever region you want to use. before you accept try to double check that ur keyboard is on English before you do this, i had a keyboard error the first time i did it because my keyboard was still on french. (to double check make sure you are getting the proper slash when you push slash, to change it if you're not getting the slash use the (left ctrl + left shift for 3-4 seconds)if that didnt work also try alt and left shift
