    Hello everyone!


    I have strange bugs in my fairly new Acer Aspire 5. I have old computers also running Windows 10 and I never had these problems.


    1) Keyboard Layout

    Strangely, even though I have English Canada as the only language in system and Canadian French keyboard as the only keyboard layout I have (image 1), suddenly, my system now show two new keyboard layout at the toolbar: Canadian Multilingual Standard and, somehow, Afrikaans US keyboard (mage 2). Even, if I verified several times the settings, even if I restarted my computer, I still get the same bug.

    2) Touch keyboard glitch

    When I try to type my password at the lock screen, there is always a touch keyboard that appears and I can dismiss it only if I type on my PHYSICAL keyboard. The strangest part is that if I plug my graphic tablet to my computer, the virtual keyboard never appeared.

    3) "Da Organisation" message (this is my codename for this bug)

    Sometime, at the settings, there is a message that says that "Some settings are hidden or managed by your organisation".

    Yes, I was connected to my school account, but that doesn't explain anything either. See, even if I disconnect it from the computer, it still shoes the same message. Actually, the message was there even before I ever got the chance to access at any point to my account!

    4) Sync my settings

    In the "Sync your settings" section of the settings, there is a message saying "Sync is not available for your account. Contact your system administrator to resolve this".

    Any solutions to resolve this?

    EDIT: English (Canada) US keyboard also joined the party of keyboard layout that never suppose to be there

  2. keyboard layout bug?

    I have the same issue here. I have done all the steps above and after a reboot the keyboard layouts are installed by windows automatically. This 99,99% a bug and needs a solution.

    There are 2 new workarounds that I justfound that I will try:

    1. To fix this issue, delete the Preload registry folder and restart (or sign out) the computer:

    This folder seems to be some legacy remnant that contains non-user-specified keyboard layouts to be added to the list of languages when the user signs in. While the fix itself works through restarts, there's a few things that seem to bring back this folder:

    • Remote desktop to a computer with US layout
    • Win 10 Anniversary update
    • Logging with Microsoft account on another PC that still has this issue
    Whenever the problem comes back, that registry folder needs to be deleted again.

    Edit: I have created a RemovePreload.reg text file with the following content, this way this fix can easily be re-applied every time without navigating the registry:

    To use this, save it in a text file and change the extension from .txt to
    .reg. Then whenever it comes back, you can just double click it and restart or sign out.

    2. Remove unneeded language files from Windows like KBDUS.DLL or others located at:

    C:\Windows\System32

    *Windows 10 version 1709 Bug* - Touch Keyboard does not supports Standard Keyboard layout with most keyboard layouts

    Prior to upgrading to Windows 10 version 1709 I was able to successfully use the Touch Keyboard with the Standard Keyboard layout option and the United Kingdom QWERTY keyboard layout. Following the upgrade to version 1709 upgrade this no longer works, and
    the Standard Keyboard layout option now only appears to work if/when the US QWERTY keyboard layout is selected.

    If you have upgraded to Windows 10 version 1709 and are/were using the Touch Keyboard with the Standard Keyboard option and a non US QUERTY keyboard, please join this discussion and let people know what is or isn't working for you.

    If you are in the Windows Insider program and were one if the people who provided feedback to Microsoft that the Touch Keyboard with Standard Keyboard option was broken, please join this discussion and hopefully we can get this fixed.
