Windows 10: Language on keyboard keeps changing

The language keeps changing in Windows 10 so every few days I go through hell trying to get my keyboard punctuation keys to stay in english. How can I ÈlockÈ them so that the correct punctuation happens when I press the corresponding key on my keyboardÉ - that was supposed to be a question mark.

Windows 10 keyboard language keeps changing

Great! I found it by searching Input method as you suggested (full path is Settings -> Typing -> Advanced keyboard settings).
- I've set "Override for default input language" to "French (Canada)" instead of "Use language list".
- "Let me use a different input method for each app" was already unchecked
- I've disabled the key sequence to switch between input languages in (Language bar options -> Advanced key settings)

I hope it did the trick, I'll mark this as solved if the keyboard does not change back by tomorrow.

Thank you!

Windows 10 keyboard language keeps changing

Hi,
So here is my problem: I only have one preferred language in my language settings. In that preferred language, I only have one keyboard layout, Canadian french. But for some reason, it keeps changing, and it's getting frustrating. I only want one keyboard layout, why does Windows keeps adding more and changing it?
