It is correct... You need a Englush (UK) keyboard with the keycaps in the
right place.

If you want "@" on your 2 key, then you don't wan't Englush (UK)

" should come from the 2 key on a UK keyboard

I assume that @ should come from ' on a UK keyboard as well.

Try removing the keyboard from device manager and rebooting the PC. Windows
will auto-detect the keyboard again and might sort itself out.

I did say 'might' !

Have you tried setting the keyboard to US, to see what it does? That should
do '@' on key 2. If that works, change it back to UK and see if works.

When I boot the PC up without the keyboard attached then attach the
keyboard, there is no message from windows and the keyboard doesn't then
work.

Rebooting with the keyboard attached it words fine.
