Windows 10: Issues creating a keyboard layout

Hello!I've been trying to create a new keyboard layout using the Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 that allows for a lot of different symbols. I set the language to German.Validating the keyboard succeeds, but I get a lot of warnings of the following types: WARNING: The character X exists in the entry for Y, ShiftState 'Z' of the layout table and is not in the default system code page 1252 of the German Germany language you specified. This may cause compatibility problems in non-Unicode applications. WARNING: The code points X exist in the entry for Y, ShiftState 'Z' of the ligature table

Keyboard Layout

"Letters and numbers are all correct, but most of the other signs are misplaced"

This suggests to me that you are using the wrong "keyboard language" for your keyboard, and that therefore you first step would be to determine exactly what language keyboard you have. Possibly have a look at Windows Keyboard Layouts - Globalization | Microsoft Docs.

(The age of any laptop capable of running Windows 10 at all should not be a problem as regards keyboard layout)

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.
