    Broken keyboard layout


    Hi, the french (France) keyboard layout suddenly broke in my current Win installation i can't use it anymore, i used the french (Belgium) layout as a workaround for now but it has some minor differences that are annoying.

    I can't see it in the layout list anymore as you can see, it only shows an empty entry and if i use this one it automatically reverts to QWERTY, tried sfc, uninstall and reinstall the french language, nothing seems to work, is there a way to fix the issue without using recovery ? Thanks

  3. Wrong keyboard layout in login page after update to 1607

    Hi,

    Since the issue reoccurred after updating to anniversary update, I suggest you to reconfigure the QWERTY keyboard layout and check if the same issue persists. This is to check if the issue is with Windows 10 1607 update.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below to configure the keyboard layout:

    • Open Settings and click on Time and Language.
    • Click on Region and Language.
    • Add the Country and click on add a language and select the language of your choice.
    • This will take time to download the pack.
    • Once this is done, Press Windows key + Space and press Space key to choose the keyboard layout.
    Hope it helps. Revert to us with the results, will be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
