    Windows 10 keyboard language keeps changing


    Hi,
    So here is my problem: I only have one preferred language in my language settings. In that preferred language, I only have one keyboard layout, Canadian french. But for some reason, it keeps changing, and it's getting frustrating. I only want one keyboard layout, why does Windows keeps adding more and changing it?

    Hi there
    I'm on Linux currently as my Windows machine is updating -- however you can change the keyboard language options so that a standard default option is used (it's INPUT METHOD not LANGUAGE) and you can select as to whether it changes per application.

    I have Icelandic version of Windows -- but since I'm on Forums etc and type a lot of English I usually have keyboard enabled to GB ENG while the display language etc is ISL. No problems with it. When using email I switch keyboard back manually to ISL for emailing normal contacts.

    Search the settings -- should work fine --a lot of the settings aren't always in the obvious places these days -- Why we still have Control panel and settings is just plain BONKERS.

    Cheers

    Great! I found it by searching Input method as you suggested (full path is Settings -> Typing -> Advanced keyboard settings).
    - I've set "Override for default input language" to "French (Canada)" instead of "Use language list".
    - "Let me use a different input method for each app" was already unchecked
    - I've disabled the key sequence to switch between input languages in (Language bar options -> Advanced key settings)

    I hope it did the trick, I'll mark this as solved if the keyboard does not change back by tomorrow.

    Thank you!
