    This is because you have Uk Keyboard settings for a us keyboard or the other way around, try going into the language settings and changing the keyboard settings.

    Control Panel -> Regional and Language settings...

    It can also be changed from the Language bar, though you'd have to add a US keyboard if it's not there already.
