In this guide, you’ll learn how to fix the console command not working or not opening in Starfield (` or ~ key not working).

Why is the Starfield console not opening?

The Starfield console is not opening because the key to open the console is different for every keyboard layout.

For example, if you’re using a US keyboard layout, the key to open the console is “~”.

However, if you’re using an European keyboard, you need to press the “@” key instead.

Alternatively, you can switch your keyboard layout to the US layout to use the “~” key.

To fix the console command not working or opening in Starfield, you need to press the correct key based on your keyboard layout.

The correct key for the US keyboard is the “~” key while the correct key for the European keyboard is the “@” key.

Here is a list of keys to press to open the console based on each keyboard layout:

To check which keyboard layout you’re using, look at the right of the Windows Taskbar.

For example, if your keyboard layout is English (United States), you’ll see “ENG US” on the Windows Taskbar.
