Would need more details to help here.
Can be more exact on what garbage mode is?
How do YOU reset it to Eng US?

  I have to keep going on the menu and clicking it back in place, it jumps to another language. I'll be typing along and look at it and it is just awful.

I bought an HP Omen model 875-0014 in November, and so far it's humming along with no problems. I never used the original keyboard, instead I'm using the one from my previous desktop. Have you tried using a different keyboard?

I have the same problem (windows 7) with laptop flipping between 2 keyboards. I thikn it might be english and french. double quotes goes to shift+2 and question mark goes to shift+6
Drives me crazy, but you get used to it eventually... or maybe getting used to it just means I am already driven crazy... excuse me I just drooled on my keyboard

  Yeah but I am a writer and I paid a lot for this crazy computer. I know there is a way and if I find it, I will get back to you.
