Apostrophe key in one keystroke

Currently, I can insert the apostrophe character ' only by pressing an extra space after typing the apostrophe key.
My current keyboardsetting is English (United States) - United States-International. I've also tried English (United States) - US
I'm looking for the configuration setting which inserts the apostrophe character in one keystroke, without having to use the space key.
Supplement.
I'm using both Windows 7 and 10. I'm not using a text-editor, but a web browser application.

This is a property of the International keyboard. Typing for example the letter
e after the apostrophe will create an accented character like é.
If you wish to disable this property, there are two options:
- Use the non-international version of the keyboard.
- Use a keyboard-macro with a product such as
AutoHotKey.
Using AutoHotKey, you may map apostrophe to
apostrophe+space with a script like this:
#UseHook, On
':: send '{Space}
The #UseHook directive is needed to avoid an infinite loop on the
repeated interception of the apostrophe.
Hotkeys that use the keyboard hook cannot be triggered by means of the
Send command.
