Default Language and keyboard layout to UK

[newpersn]

Got a slight with our Windows 10. It keep resetting it self to US layout.

 

Is there a reg fix i can apply to lock it to UK layout?

 

Thanks.

[newpersn]

Anyone?

 

Has anyone managed to get Windows to stay locked to UK Keyboard?

I had something like this on Windows 7, but it was years ago. I found something setup in a GPO that was switching the languages, it was so long ago that i cant remember but think it was connected to an MS office GPO.

 

What ever you do don't delete the default US keyboard on the Win 10 machine as it can cause you a load of other issues.

 

Sorry I can't help anymore.

You have to delete all languages, and keep UK, which will be your system language. Then you will open that language (Options), and look at "Input method". Then you can remove what you want and add what you want. The one on the top will be your default and it will NOT switch back when using some programs.

 

or maybe you are hitting Alt shift or something which changes the language?

[LeMarchand]

Not done anything different to the ones I use and they stay as UK. Have only got one imaged machine out there that probably never gets the keyboard used (or even turned on much) so can't comment on that one.

 

Not sure if you can adapt this to admx: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/11528-gpo-change-language-regional-settings.html

probably only helpful going forwards but there is a uk iso for windows 10 that dosent install usa keyboard etc anyway. I think there are gpos that can change it but ive not looked tbh as i just use the uk iso

You want the 'English International' ISO. This has a quirk with app removal and the latest (November) ISO, so my base is currently the July ISO with November updates rolled into it.

I've had some strange issues whereby Windows 10 32Bit will 'sometimes' switch to US-English, but then Windows 64Bit doesn't seem to have this problem.

Alas we have the problem with x64.

Been setting this with a powershell script during the MDT build process if that is any help?

Would it run as a login script? And also import it over to mdt.

[kidpressingbuttons]

I run this as part of my win10 mdt task sequence:

 

Set-WinUserLanguageList en-GB

 

works great!

 

Never tried using it at log on. Hope it helps!

How do i turn this in to a login script?

[kidpressingbuttons]

Copy it into notepad and save it as a .ps1 file then should be able to assign it as a login script in gpo

[newpersn]

 

Simple fix?

[kidpressingbuttons]

Save and run this power shell command before-

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass

 

May want to change it back to after-

Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted

 

Think those are right, if not let me know and I can send you the correct ones tomorrow morning

Am i missing something silly...

[snagrat]

Do it as a single command:

 

Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File %filepath%

 

You won't get a prompt on this

So, I've finally worked out how to get the English 'International' (like we are the ones whose English is 'International' ), but the only version I can see is the Windows 10 Education, Version 1607 (Updated Nov '16) 64 Bit English International ISO. How can I get the July version?

July? The Nov will have the fixes for WSUS and other parts of windows.

[Koldov]

Hmmmm.... Only going by this quote, I want the July ISO and NOT the November ISO...?

Still the case until the March ISO appears, along with the Anniversary Update ISOs at the beginning of May (who know if those will work straight off though).
