    Why keeps windows changing my keyboard layout to ENG.


    For some reason in W10 language settings and keyboard layout are interconnected. Which does not really make sense IMO, as I don't change my keyboard very often (never). So, I have the same layout all the time. Though I use different languages almost every day. For multiple language support, W10 interconnects the current language with the activated keyboard layout or so. Annoyingly, it switches the keyboard layout automatically to ENG all the time. I don't know how often per day I switch it back so it matches my keyboard. In future versions, I would like to see the language decoupled from the keyboard layout. And automatic switching completely turned off!

    :)
