  1. DEFAULT Keyboard with several languages installed


    I have installed several languages. I usually use ENGLSH, but when I turn on the computer it comes up with FRENCH as the default input language, and I have to change it even to sign in. How do I change the DEFAULT keyboard to English? (When I ask the automated assistant I only get the answer of how to switch keyboards, NOT how to change the DEFAULT keyboard).


    Thanks for any help.

    :)

  2. Language/Keyboard default

    Hi Sandra,

    You can try these steps to set up your preferred defaults:

    • Go to Settings and click Time & Language.
    • Click Region & Language.
    • Click on your default system language then, click Options.
    • Click Add a keyboard then choose your preferred keyboard language.
    • Remove the other keyboard language by choosing it then click Remove.

    Tell us if this works.

    • Open Time & language.
    • Select Region & language.
    • Click on the default language, and click Options.

    Unable to set keyboard language as default differently from Windows 10 language

    I'm able to do that, but the problem is: I need the default language for the keyboard to be set to brazilian portuguese but everytime I log in, windows is enforcing the keyboard language to be the same as the used for display.

    I know I can press windows+space to switch languages, but I did not have to do it in the past, something changed with the latest patches.
