Windows 10: Custom keyboard layouts aren't working Windows 11

So, in short, whenever I try using a custom keyboard layout, the taskbar disappears for a few seconds and everything else appears to be frozen and when everything starts working again, the keyboard layout is set to English United States, my default layout like the one I have at the very top of the listWhat could potentially be causing this and how would I be able to fix it?

Custom Keyboard Layouts in Windows 11

A wonderful day everyone,

Previously I have used the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to create custom keyboard layouts, however not only is Windows 11 not listed as a supported operating system, but I cannot use the installed keyboards as they get shrugged off as "Unavailable input method" and are also unselectable as they break the taskbar language button in strange ways.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how one can create a functioning keyboard layout for Windows 11? It'd be much appreciated.

Best regards.

 

Custom Keyboard Layout in Windows 11 ARM

I'm running W11 ARM on Parallels Desktop from a M1 Mac.

I'm trying to add a custom layout keyboard made with MKLC 1.4.

Microsoft says it is not supported but the software works and I'm able to create a .dll keyboard and add it to the keyboard list in "Installed Keyboard" menu in W11.

Nevertheless, that newly installed keyboard doesn't show up in my task bar. Only pre-built layouts appear.

On top of that, if a delete all pre-built layouts and keep only my custom layout, W11 use a default "american" layout without telling me.

It looks like there was a miscommunication on this thread and the person who asked the question gave up.

It is a valid question reporting a bug on Windows 11 ARM - I have the same issue
