    Keyboard definitions are missing in French version of Win10.


    I configured three rebuilt Dell Optiflex Windows 10 Pro desktops to Canada-French.

    Based on experimentation, I also removed the secondary US-English package before installing any apps, because many apps ignore the user selected language and default to English if it exists. Now, every app automatically recognized French on installation and the Region and Language selections and settings all indicate Canada-French.

    The system configuration consists of a single local Administrator and a single local user account. Both accounts are in French only. The users are mostly elderly unilingual French Québecois, and I want their computer experience to be as comfortable and positive as possible.

    The keyboard is a Logitech MK700/710 with the Quebec French layout. But, Windows 10 keyboard layout lists only "Canadian French International" which is not the same at all. There is no Quebec French layout as there was in W7.

    I researched the subject on the web but found nothing relevant.

    Here you go, roll your own with the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.....


    The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator extends the international functionality of Windows 10, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems by allowing users to:

    • Create new keyboard layouts from scratch
    • Base a new layout on an existing one
    • Modify an existing keyboard layout (.KLC) file and build a new layout from it
    • Package the resulting keyboard layouts for subsequent deployment and installation.
