US International without dead keys layout Windows 10

I have a problem with my keyboard layout. When I bought my new keyboard, I set the Windows layout to US International, because it has a US layout, but I still need to type international characters.

Everything worked just fine as I wanted it to, that is. For example, I had to press AltGr+E to type é and pressing '+E resulted in 'e and not é.

The problem is, I don't know how, but this just changed 10 minutes ago, and now if I press '+E, it types é and not 'e, as I want. I did some research and found out this is what "dead keys" do, and unfortunately it is not how I want my keyboard to work.

I read a lot of people suggesting to use the Microsoft keyboard layout creator or just switching to the US layout to disable the dead keys, but, unless I just got crazy, I can assure you all I was using the international layout without dead keys just till 10 minutes ago. 

I am not confusing ' Apostropheand ` Grave Accent (backtick). I am 100% sure, because my language has a lot of apostrophes followed by vowels, so if this was happening before I would have recognized—typing, for example, límbuto instead of l'imbuto. It is annoying.

Please, does someone know if there is some way to disable this dead keys feature in the US International layout?
