Windows 10: Prevent layout changing when switching languages

Hello.

On windows 10, I have installed both the Italian my native language and Japanese I sometimes type with it keyboards.

However, I noticed a very annoying behaviour: once I switch from Italian to Japanese, mykeyboard layout changes too, from Italian correct to English 101/102 keys,wrong and thus i can't type any symbols i.e. it swaps "!?.:" to "!_*.>".

I already checked into Languages>Japanese>Options>Change layout, but I only have two layout options there, English and Japanese, both wrong.

Is there a way to prevent this switch? It's getting really tedious to switch from one language to another just for symbols.


Thanks in advance!

:)

 

How to prevent Windows 10 from changing keyboard language layout?

I want to prevent Windows 10 from automatically changing my keyboard language layout.

I have both English and Spanish language setup on Windows, but I want to keep JUST the Spanish keyboard layout. Windows 10 keep 'updating' and adding the English keyboard layout.

I find I need to go to Language settings and manually removing the English keyboard layout and adding the Spanish keyboard layout under the Enlglish language settings.

I simply wantto STOP this.

All the resources I have found refer to the previous Windows 10 version before the update.

It is impossible to follow those steps after having the Windows 10 Creator´s Update installed.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Best regards.

 

Prevent language from automatically being changed

• Since Keyla has stopped working.
• Two.
• When I test if the language stays after switching between programs - I switch to a different program, then switch the language, then switch to the previous program.

The steps you suggested didn't work, as I don't want to remove any of the languages.
