  1. Windows 10 Keyboard Set to UK English but works as US English


    Hello,


    We have recently upgraded all our machines to Windows 10 in the office from Windows 7 however it seems that after the upgrade some users have started getting US English keyboards.


    I have looked through Language settings in the settings area and nowhere does it state any mention of US English.


    I have also ran "Get-WinUserLanguageList" and the results are as shown:


    LanguageTag : en-GB

    Autonym : English United Kingdom

    EnglishName : English

    LocalizedName : English United Kingdom

    ScriptName : Latin

    InputMethodTips : {0809:00000809}

    Spellchecking : True

    Handwriting : False


    From what I understand this means that everything is set to UK English. I have also checked on another computer and it has the exact same settings yet it is working on that computer.

    :)

    Multiple English keyboard

    Hi,
    I have on my Win10 (OS Build 18362.418) 3 languages: Hebrew, English (US) and English (UK).
    I don't need the last one and I don't understand why do I have it.
    Any suggestions?

    Here an image of my language settings:

    Get Cortana to work in English (UK) for Windows 10

    I upgraded to Windows 10, and Cortana doesn’t seem to be available based on the Start Menu:

    but when I click the link, it takes me to this page:


    Windows 10 Keyboard Set to UK English but works as US English a6AEm.png


    which suggests it should be available in the UK, since I've checked

    • my language settings are English (UK),
    • I have the English (UK) language pack installed, and
    • the speech settings are also set to English (UK).

    I think this is everything, right?  It certainly ticks the boxes in the Microsoft help article.

    How can I get Cortana up & running?

    Multiple English keyboard

    Before removing the English [UK] keyboard layout, do confirm that your keyboard is not an English [UK] one.
    - On English [UK] keyboards the 2 key also has the " symbol on it.
    - On English [US] keyboards the 2 key also has the @ symbol on it.
    If yours is not an English [UK] layout then the Tutorial you have a link to is the right way to go.
