Keyboard Layout not changing

Hi

I have created a profile for my son (child account) and am having issues with getting the keyboard set to Engish-UK.

When I log into his account on Win 10

• I get a number of Visual C++ errors but can't see the program causing it
• Subsequently the keyboard layout is stuck on American
• I try to change to UK by removing the American language pack and setting overrides in the Advanced settings and control panel. However, the American pack continues to stay and all the changes get reverted back to original
• For the case of simplicity I have made him an Administrator on my machine though originally he was a Standard User

When I or my wife login to this machine there is no issue with keyboard layouts and we do not show the American language pack as existing on this machine. The other thing to add is that his Windows login user id is NOT a Microsoft email address but something
else (Google Custom Domain).

Appreciate if anyone has any ideas on this?

Cheers
