Windows 10: Keyboard shortcut for a single layout resets

Hi, windows has a function where you can switch to a single set keyboard layout via a keyboard shortcut.

https://winaero.com/blog/change-hotkeys-switch-keyboard-layout-windows-10/

However it often resets my setup. Win7 never did.


I'm on Windows 10 1903 but it occurred on earlier win10 releases too.


Thanks for help! I can't seem to find anyone else having this problem.

Accidently overwritten a Keyboard Layout, How to reset it?

I accidently overwritten my Keyboard layout (French) with Keyboard Layout Manager, so now the French Keyboard layout is QWERTY while it's supposed to be AZERTY. I was wondering if I could reset it to it's original state or if there
is something else I can do?

Thanks in advance.
