Satellite C50-A133 - language bar shortcut keys keep reset automatically

Hello!

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C50-A133 with 8.1 for Windows 64-bit (the system of English UK language) of the United Kingdom. So far I have not had major problems with Windows 8.1 but an annoying problem keeps coming back.

There are currently 12 languages/installed input methods, which some I have assigned shortcuts keyboard, Ctrl + number or Ctrl + Shift + number.

After the system boots, they work fine, but after a while becomes disabled without me aware to have done anything to turn them off. The only thing I can do is to open the menu language preferences and assign shortcuts again.

They disappeared in the menu language of shortcut keys, specifically each shortcut that I put has changed 'None '. This happens after a while little matter what I use the computer for.

Restart the system always back to my settings shortcuts but working with computer for a while turns them off. I use Avast, Malwarebytes, Auslogics BoostSpeed and Windows Defender regularly, as well as CCleaner at startup. I don't think it's one of these the origin of the problem, as happens when none of them scan as well. Using the Windows key + tab bar to change the input language works very well also.

All languages are displayed and can be activated in this way. It's just the shortcut keys that keep disappearing. It is not a huge problem but can be troublesome when needing to switch between 2 or 3 languages quickly without having to scroll through all 12 of them. If someone has had this problem and is there a way to fix it?

I have already explained this problem to Microsoft.
They had no solution that worked and he suggested, it was a hardware problem and I need to contact Toshiba instead.

Thank you!

To be honest I don't know if I understand your problem, but I know first boot after laptop computer purchase, you can set the keyboard input language and that s it Mr. of course you can also change it and add some other input languages.

To me, it seems crazy that 12 languages are available as installed services. Who did this?

Can you please tell us how it all started? I mean I guess you use UK layout only and English as an input language. The problem with 12 languages seems crazy to me. Have you tried to change something? Have you tried to delete all the other languages?

Hardware problem? I don't know what think of Microsoft on this issue, but there is a simple way to check this. Reinstall the original recovery image and check how it works with the factory settings.

    Usually it of possible to remove the simple keys on the keyboard.
    If you want to back up the key on the keyboard if Cap you only have to push down the CAP.
    Then the CAP must be placed on the keyboard and shouldn't pop off t.
    She she s is not possible, then of course, you can try to contact Toshiba service partner in your country to replace the CAP button or the entire keyboard. (I'm not sure about the part by replacing m)

    Hello

    Input language settings are per application. An application that calls a Windows API to change the input locale, can set a different keyboard configuration, if it is enabled for the user.

    Sometimes also, if you accidentally press the keys ALT and SHIFT-LEFT together. If you do not want this behavior, you can "Uninstall" all languages/cultures of entry, you need not in the Panel control:

    Regional and Language Options > input languages and text Services

    Note:

    This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    2. Once you open the registry editor you set this registry entry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages

  • Sequence keys in the language bar back to a strange 'by default'

    Hello world

    I use several European languages (Latin alphabet) more the simplified Chinese IME on a daily basis and, in Windows, I've always had (LAlt + SHIFT + n) keystrokes for each of them.
    The problem in my Windows 7 Enterprise (at College), is that the keystrokes going back by default without any reason (often I discover after will be identified in the morning from sleep). Also weird is that the default 'come back' seems to save the Chinese IME, which kept its sequence of keys as LAlt + shift + 4 without problem.
    My system is in simplified Chinese, but I would like as my default keyboard in Australian English. I tried to play now with these variables. If my default keyboard is in Chinese I can return to my settings favorite without a problem... but if I select my default keyboard in Australian English, the sequence of keys to the Chinese IME stops working.
    I don't mind too much if the default keyboard should match the language of the system due to a bug... as long the keystrokes remain in place and allow me to quickly scan between languages!
    Other people with the same issue? Ideas how to solve this problem permanently?
    See you soon,.
    Alfonso

    Hi Alfonso,.

    This problem may occur because of keyboard settings are corrupt.

    First of all, I suggest you to check the language bar and keyboard shortcuts.

    a. open the language bar settings.

    b. Select Text Services and input languages. First we will click on "language bar".

    Language bar settings:

    Radio button settings you:

    Floating above your documents, the default language bar (where you can always reduce to the taskbar).

    Anchor the taskbar by default (you can always expand it into floating mode), or hide it completely.

    The boxes below that allow you to:

    Make the language bar floating, semi transparent when not in use, and

    Display additional icons at any time, even in the taskbar: help maximize (float) and parameters and also icons for speech recognition if you use those.

    Show text labels when the language bar is floating, as in the example at the top of this page. In other languages like Spanish, labels can also appear when it is docked in the bar of tasks, but Chinese IME only display the labels in floating mode.

    Keyboard shortcut settings

    The next on watch the Advanced key settingstab:

    Key advance settings, you will find options to disable or modify the any of them by clicking on the "Change Key Sequence" button... ».

    For example, changing "between the input languages" accent grave (') and put the switch of layout at least save me from myself most of the time.

  • What shortcut should I use to turn the language bar? Is there a way to change my default language in the language bar?

    Hi, I love to type in English and Japanese.  The Japanese Bar already has an English option it contains.  So my questions are:

    -Can I do Japanese - Romaji (English in the Japanese bar) my default
    -How can I switch the Japanese typing styles without clicking every time I need to change IE: shortcut keys
    -If the above are not possible there are at least the keys that toggle between English and Japanese in the language bar?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Lioaj88,

    Please check these Japanese IME keyboard shortcuts.

    To switch between English and Japanese:
    SHIFT - ALT: toggle between English and Japanese fashion

    Keyboard shortcuts

    ALT-~ (tilde): Cycles between kana and direct entry mode

    ALT - SHIFT: Travels of available languages

    ALT-CAPS_LOCK:  Past in katakana input mode

    CTRL-CAPS_LOCK: Past in hiragana input mode

    Control - ~: Switches between the current entry mode and the English mode within the Japanese IME.

    TIP: It is tedious to switch between input mode Hiragana and direct entry through the language bar. Instead, you can switch by pressing Alt + Tilde (key below ESC on your keyboard).  So, if you need to type Japanese, press Alt + Tilde and start typing. When you are done press Alt + Tilde again to revert to English. To get the same result in Japanese mode, press Control - ~.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you

  • Question of shortcut keys in Word on Satellite A110-195

    I recently bought a new Satellite computer and installed Windows Office purchased separately. For some reason, shortcut keys, I've used for years on other computers are different on the new machine.

    For example, I've always known 'save' to be CTRL + S. On this computer, now is SHIFT + F12. I am aware that I can change the settings of each key individually, but surely there must be a way to change the settings somewhere on the machine to return to more conventional keystrokes.

    I have been searching around the internet for some tips on how to do it but came up with nothing.

    Anyone out there able to help?

    Hello

    It's very strange and inexplicable
    I never heard that the shortcut keys may change the feature itself.
    I have also studied a little, but I was not successfully ;(

    I've just found this review of Microsoft:

  • Satellite Z930 - AltGr key change keyboard shortcut keys

    Hi all

    on my Z930 satellite with German keyboard (Switzerland), the alt gr key does not allow access to the additional characters (such as @, which is accessible in AltGr + 2), but instead transforms all the keys in shortcut keys (for example type n would open a new web browser window).

    Is anyone know about this problem and how to disable this behavior? (it's quite boring change the layout always in en - us just typing a tank...)

    Thank you very much!

    Beat

    Similar is with the British and the United States where symbols and @ n different positions.

    You simply test that works from the combination of keys correctly. I have GB keyboard and when I turn it on in German (Switcerland) symbol @ I can get if I use ALT GR + 2 key combination.

    Doesn't work on your Satellite too?

  • Satellite C50-A441 is pre-installed with Win 8.1 English language?

    I did not get a straight answer on the microsoft forum, so I write here.

    The following product ([C50-A441 | http://www.toshibamea.com/ComputerProduct/4/Satellite_C50-A441/52956?pageid=4]) is advertised as 8.1 only language 64-bit (pre-installed).

    I am currently based in the Middle East and asked the shop if the language is American English, but I don't have a clear answer and I don't want to buy a laptop with Arabic.

    Is it possible to know if it is in American English (I'm not able to test before you buy...).

    Thank you very much.

    The Satellite C50-A441 PSCGJV 009001AR has been preloaded with Toshiba image that contains the Windows 8.1 in Arabic.

  • Special function keys not working not not on Satellite C50 - Windows 8.1

    Hello

    Please could someone help me.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A0393, I received a few months ago with already installed Windows 8.1 (64-bit). Today, I got a message saying that I had to watch the PC health, a blue message Toshiba about that the access agreement and I noticed that there are three updates that needed to be done, the only one, I remember being the Toshiba Video Player. I think that another had to do with the light of the charger?
    I do not know.

    But once I rebooted my laptop after the update I noticed that the special function keys were not working (i.e. the volume, mute, pause and play, etc..). Then, I went to the Toshiba Office help and in Control Panel and select the keyboard tab. I did as the setting for the special function mode has been selected.

    Now, when this setting is in place, some keys work but for F3, F5, F6, etc. and when I want to use special features that the volume up and down work when pressing 'Fn', but the special function mode is still selected? These two work only, not the mute or the flightmode or bluetooth, which was operating normally before the updates.

    I googled but can't find something specific to 8.1, or not covered do not upgrade to 8.1. I can't find the flashcard utility and do not want to try something where I don't know what I'm doing. How can I get these special function keys working again normally? Sorry for the long message, but I wanted to give as much information as possible.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    It seems strange to me that an update of Toshiba (Toshiba Video Player, etc.) would have an impact on the key features of function.
    However, the function key (F1 - F10) can be used in combination with or without the FN key. It depends on the special function key mode.

    In case you want to use the F1 - F12 functions without the FN key, the key mode of function must be enabled (should be set to the special mode of operation)

    Full details here how it works:
    https://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD2503B90001R01.htm

    Now it these buttons would not work even if pressing the FN key, then there is a problem with the software.

    First of all I would recommend allows you to set the default BIOS because this mode key function can be changed in the BIOS too.
    After this, check if the key would work. If not, reinstall
    Key feature of Toshiba utility

    And the driver for the Toshiba system

    You can also check if the essential service has not been disabled.
    Start the Task Manager and go to start a number of questions. You must activate all Toshiba apps, services and then restart.

  • Satellite C50 - B - 11 d - keyboard and NHY keys do not work

    Hi N H key and there do not work on the keyboard, sometimes also the arrow keys does not work.
    any advise? or search and return? It s not even ages of two months and has this problem since day 1.
    Not only still used little. Very disappointing quality...

    SATELLITE C50 - B - 11 D

    >... and has this problem since the day 1
    Why wait so long? Where this problem occurs from the beginning, it is always possible to return the laptop to your local dealer and ask for replacement.

    Anyway, do last and final test. Reinstall the original recovery image and check if the problem persists. If so I think you should contact the closest service Toshiba and ask for help. Your laptop is new and its warranty valid, they will help you.

    Maybe new update BIOS, if available, may help, but first try to clarify this issue with the technicians.
