  1. Text input method


    I have only just recently received my Microsoft Surface Go asked am slowly relearning how to get around in the Windows/pc os. I haven't used an actual PC in so long! For years I've done anything and everything on my android smart phones which is just crazy. Also I am techno-challenged to the power of 10. Cant even spell tech savvy. So my apologies in advance for my cluelessness. So, I have a question about typing/text input. How, in the name of Bill Gates, do I set my text input method and keep it that way?? I do not have a physical keyboard, therefore my Go is always used in "tablet mode". I do not type, and loathe the tedious ''tap-tap-tap hunt and peck'' typing method regardless. My preference is the ''Swype'' text input method. I do Realize that the name ''Swype'' refers to a specific developers now dropped app. But the input method is available in many formats and on many devices, it's just not called ''swype'' I'm unsure what it's called by or in Windows/Microsoft I've heard it called ''continuous text'' input, for one. It's simply where you don't ever lift your finger from the screen. You swype/slide your finger around the keyboard instead of ''tap tap'' typing . sliding over the letters of the words you want to type and you're given a list of possible words using the letters you just swiped over. I hope that makes sense! I can't think of any other way to explain it! LoL I know my Surface Go does offers ''text input method'' and I use it, whenever I'm able! However,, I never know when that will be. It's very frustrating! It appears to work only sometimes kind of willy nilly. And I never know when or where the option will be there from one page/app/function to the next!! Perfect example-when I began typing this loooong wonder question, I was ''Swype typing''. Easy peasy. Then, a few sentences in, it suddenly stopped allowing me to do it. I was forced to continue, at a snails pace, hunting and pecking. I don't know what prompts it to start/stop More importantly, how to get it set to stick with one input method!! It really Drives me crazy! And I can't figure it out. There should be a setting. I looked everywhere I can think of. I tried searching for the answer I looked all through settings, starting, of course, with keyboard settings. I can't Find anything that tells me how to set the text input method definitively. There is an option to switch input methods'' but it doesn't list options, or say what you're switching or what you're switching it from or to! No matter as it doesn't appear to change anything related to what I'm asking about or anything at all to be honest!! ❔❔❔❔. �� help!!

    :)

    Setting the default input method for the Windows 10 login screen

    I had the same question but with French being the default on Windows 10 rather than the one I wanted so I ended up here.

    HoD is very close. I was able to use his suggestion to find the solution for me. This solution uses your current display and input language to change the Welcome screen and possible for new user accounts if you want. So make sure you have the display and input settings while logged in that you want to apply to the login screen before doing the steps:

    1. Click the language on the Taskbar.
    2. Then click Language preferences.
    3. At the bottom under "Related settings," click "additional date, time, & regional settings" which opens the control panel
    4. Click the "Region" option
    5. Then go to the far right tab "Administrative". (HoD's step 2)
    6. In the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" click copy settings. (HoD's step 3)
    7. Tick "Welcome screen and system accounts" (and "new user accounts" if you want it to be applied to those as well). (HoD's step 4)
    8. Click Ok. (HoD's step 5)

    I was able to use HoD's suggestion to find the solution here. It's for Windows 8.1, but works on 10 so far.

    Hope it will help you, too!
