I've always been used to pressing the '
and "
button twice to get the respective characters. But recently, it changed without my involvement.
Now, when I press the button, I get 2 of them immediately. Aside from being just a pain in the gluteus maximus, it also doesn't allow me to type apostrophe characters.
I don't know when this started, but I believe it had something to do with the last big update, which required rebooting several times. Since this might be an intended feature by Microsoft, I don't know if it's fixable, so any and all answers would be appreciated.

I assume you’re currently using the “US – QWERTY” layout. What you probably want is the US International keyboard. It has all the so-called “dead keys” you want:
To enable it, go to Settings → Time & language → Region & language (sidebar). There, select the language (English, Dutch, whatever) you want to modify, click “Options”. Then, under “Keyboards” add the “United Status-International” layout. Then remove the regular US layout.
