    Windows reverting to wrong input language


    My Windows display language is set to English (United States) which is the only language pack I have installed.
    I have several input languages enabled because I need to be able to switch when inputting in different languages.
    In the Language control panel I have set English (United States) at the top of the list. However, after every reboot Windows reverts my input language to German which is at the bottom of my list.
    In the Advanced Settings of the Language control panel I have now set "Override for default input method" to English as well but still to no avail.
    What else is there to change? I'm getting fed up having to change the input language every time I start up my PC.

    :)

    Language issue after W10 installation - system in mixed languages

    Hello Preeti,

    thanks for reply, but you are responding for something totally different. This is not a system error, this is a wrong function logic.

    If I change "prefered read/write language", that is settings for keyboard input, the language in the W10 changes.

    BECAUSE in previous system, this option was only "write" language, but as it was changed in W10 to "read and write", it applies also on settings of apps language, what is wrong in this case, as this option is for input language settings.

    This is wrong settings logic in windows 10, it is not bug in my system.

  3. Change keyboard language before login or remove MS account password

    This answer does not answer the question which is. how to change the input language at login ?. I have changed the input languages as explained, but the input language at login was not affected and remains the wrong one.

    Thanks

    Input Method = Keyboard

    Are you finding pressing certain keys results in the wrong thing?

    I find having the input method the same as the physical keyboard works best.

    My physical keyboard = US English
    In the advanced options of the language bar I have disabled all hotkeys for changing language.
    In the Region control panel I have set format to English (United States).
    I have no clue what's going on but it's very annoying. NOTHING in my settings tells Windows to revert to German keyboard input, yet it does so every time I boot *Sad

    Tried what you were suggesting but it didn't help.
    I've now solved it by first disabling all my extra language inputs and then enabling them again. Seems to work although I still wonder what was going on.

    Windows reverting to wrong input language

    Hmm, that is really quite interesting.

    I find that although I have en-US as the default (as that is what I installed) I do find some applications (Word, Excel etc) seem to decide to hang onto whatever language I was writing in last time.

    I did try changing the normal.dat but it doesn't seem to work.

    I think that's how it's supposed to be.
    For example, when you use Hungarian to type a letter in Word and then close the program, it should be set to Hungarian next time you start Word. Once you've set it to a different input method it should remember that for the next time you start the program.
    However, in my case it was constantly going back to German (QWERTZ layout).
