In the Region & Language settings, Keyboards and Languages tab change to US. In Administrative tab, change the Language for non-Unicode programs to US. This worked for me.

Hats off to you, WS. I and my Computer Engineer were scratching heads over this issue for a long, long time, assuming that the system might be infected with a Trojan, or the drivers might be corrupt. Sometimes the solution is so easy that we tend to ignore it. We were a tad ashamed to realise the problem was so minute. Thank you once again. Blessings.

Yo thanks bro, I'm so high right now I didn't know what I was doing. It's like 4am and I got some sweet hash.
