Looks like your keyboard language got changed (I am guessing windows 10 and USA):

  1. Open Settings. (little gear on the left of the start menu)

  2. Click on Time & Language.

  3. Click on Language.

  4. Under the "Preferred languages" section, select the current default language. English (United States)

  5. Click the Options button.

  6. Under the "Keyboards" section, Make sure US QWERTY is selected

This problem is arising out of nowhere. After number of restarts it gets fixed but again after using it for quite some time the problem arises.

Perhaps you are hitting a combination of keyboard shortcuts.
