Windows 10: With "new user", keyboard changed to Dvorak

After setting up a new user for my wife, I tried typing but I immediately found out my keyboard is now Dvorak. Went back to MY user and it's still normal.

Went back to the new user and I tried to fix it by doing the following.

Settings > Time & Language > Region & Language > Advanced Keyboard Settings

There, I had a choice of 2 settings.

English (United States) - US
English (United States) - United States Dvorak

I clicked on English (United States) - US

Yet everything stays with Dvorak.

Any ideas so I don't go completely nuts? *Confused

Change keyboard layout to Dvorak

Hi Ajay,

Seems like you want to get out of everybody's comfort zone by moving out of the QWERTY keyboard layout. I can help you with that request, kindly follow these steps to enable the US Dvorak layout for Windows 10:

• On your keyboard, press Windows + I.
• Select Time & language.
• On the left pane, click Region & language.
• Under Languages, highlight English (United States), then click
  Options.
• Under Keyboards, click Add a keyboard.
• Choose United States-Dvorak.
• Close the settings.

You can now choose the US Dvorak layout by clicking on the language selector in the taskbar. See screenshot below:





On the pop-up, choose United States-Dvorak.

Now you can enjoy your new keyboard layout. If you have further queries, feel free to reply to this post.

Dvorak keyboard on a Nokia Lumia 820...?

I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 820 and upon checking the keyboard options I find there is an excellent range, but no Dvorak keyboard option. This seems strange as the list of options extends to Uzbek - Latin.



Clearly Nokia wants to be friendly to all comers. Why the Dvorak oversight?



Is there any way of downloading a Dvorak keyboard into a Nokia Lumia 820?
