Windows 10: Windows 10 user settings login screen

Hi,

I'm using a multi-user windows machine where every user uses a different keyboard layout.

When a user has used the device and is logges off, their keyboard layout remains even when you click on another user to log in.


This is a problem. One user uses a belgian dutch layout and another the US international layout and it becomes really difficult to enter a password without knowing the other layout by heart azerty vs qwerty, numbers with/without shift letters, symbols in a different location.


Also, because the these layout settings are somehow linked to the user's windows account, the system keeps selecting the keyboard layout per user instead of the system default.


Can someone please help me work around this issue?


Thanks in advance.




Kind regards


Stijn

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!

 

login screens

goto CONTROL PANEL/ USER ACCOUNTS then you have to remove all the other accounts except for the one you logon with....then restart...it should bypass the login tho it will still show the screen for it...it will continue to load windows...good luck*Rockout :rockout:



edit:: it asks for a login when there are more then one accounts..or if you set a pw to your login name...
