    Language keyboard layout switching issue


    Hello,

    Since a few weeks, I have some troubles with the language preferences : I'm a french user of a qwerty keyboard because qwerty is the best<3 but obviously, I need to switch to the french layout when I want to type the accented letters.
    For more than a year I had no trouble at all, I added the EN layout to the language module and used alt+shift to swtich between the layout and that worked fine.
    BUT recently, I don't know why, MS seems to have updated something and since, I have the following problem : there always are 2 layouts defined for the french language, Language keyboard layout switching issue 2bc54deb-816a-4e86-819e-fb33f3e33788?upload=true.png

    and there is no other language set,

    Language keyboard layout switching issue 116ecd14-eb74-4efd-9d05-847b2454ff28?upload=true.png and when I use alt+shift to switch between the different layouts as I always did during the past year, the small window that displays the layouts shows me 3 options ... And it's not really handy to type text fast ...

    Do you have an idea to remove the 3rd option ENG and have only the 2 first options ?
    I have a qwerty keyboard at work and made the same modifications to write text but never met the same issue ...Thanks in advance for your help and have a great day

    :)

    The extra keyboard layout keep adding to my language bar (with Pics)

    Hi Panupong,

    The updated Windows 10 may have detected your language, the reason why it automatically gave you the other Thai US keyboard. To correct this issue, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Click on the Start Menu, type in region and language settings and select it.
    • Under Languages, select Thai Kedmanee keyboard and click Remove.
    • Lastly, add it back by clicking Add a language.

    After these steps, your keyboard layout will permanently stay with Thai Kedmanee keyboard.

    Let us know if the steps above resolved your issue.

    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.
