  1. Something switching my keyboard layout to one I haven't installed


    Hi,


    Some unknown malevolent entity keeps switching my keyboard layout to "ENG INTL":

    However, if I check the Language preferences, the only keyboard layout installed on my machine is "ENG US", which is the one I actually want:

    Is there a way to remove the other keyboard layouts from my system?

    If not, can I at least find out why they are there, e.g if this is set through a domain policy or something?


    Thanks,

    Paolo

    :)

  2. Randomly switching to unwanted keyboard layout

    When I type in French I use the Canadian Multilingual Standard layout. This is what I have configured in my settings and it is what worked fine for me for years until a week or two ago (which suggests the April update may have had something to do with it).

    Now when I switch to French I find that I am often in another layout which I believe to be the Canadian French layout, although I am not completely sure. It is similar to the Canadian multilingual with the most notable difference being that the è and the / are swapped round. I have never chosen the Canadian French keyboard in my preferences and it isn't listed there now. Canadian Multilingual is what is listed.

    What's even more annoying is that the layout seems to switch randomly between Canadian Multilingual and Canadian French while I am typing, so I am never really sure what is going to happen when I try to type an è.

    How can I get my keyboard to consistently be Canadian Multilingual when I am typing in French?

    switching keyboard layouts between devices

    I recently bought a surface book on a holiday to USA and it has a US keyboard layout. When I set this device to use the US keyboard layout it switched all of the other devices on my account to suit. How can I set the surface book to a US keyboard Layout
    but keep my desktop, laptop and tablet on the UK keyboard layout (which is the keyboard layout they all use) but still all attached to the my Microsoft account?

    Step by step instructions would be appreciated for an idiot.

    Thanks

    Something switching my keyboard layout to one I haven't installed

    switching keyboard layouts between devices

    Hello,

    I am still having the same problem with the keyboards. When I switch my desktop to UK English layout t applies it to all devices on my account and likewise when I change the surface book to US keyboard layout it changes all my othe devices on the account.
    I tried to use the windows Key + spacebar as suggested, but nothing happens at all. Does anyone know how I can set my individual devices to have their own keyboard layouts without affecting the other devices on my Microsoft account?

    Thanks
