Double quotes key requires second key press.

I have four systems, each with a regular+cyrillic keyboard and have been using them for years with Windows 7 & 8.1, switching between the two formats, without a problem. As an aside, a couple of the systems, having bought them in Bulgaria, have non-English messages but the few that occur, although annoying, I have tolerated.

Now, having updated one of the Win 7 systems to Win 10 and having tweaked language so, at least at the user level, I get everything in English, I have a strange situation where the " key will not produce the character until another key is pressed. It is the only key that reacts like that. I'm not sure if the tweaking or Windows 10 itself is the problem.

Any ideas why this is happening and how to overcome it?

I assume it's because you chose "english international"
I had the same problem - when pressing the quote key, i had to press it again in order to get the double quote.
the solution for me was:
Control Panel -> Language ->for the English button choose 'options' (on the right) -> remove input method called 'english international' (and make sure you stay with the US option).

I really owe you a huge thanks..

Thank you from my end too! In my case I did NOT have "english international" but "english - united kingdom" (the correct one). I installed "english american", made it default, removed "english united kingdom" and immediately afterwards re-installed "english united kingdom" and it now works fine.

Thanks!
