    UK install but won't change K/B input from US layout


    I did a Win 10 upgrade on a Win 8.1 Pro PC using Windows update and find that although it's a UK region setting and installation the PC assumes it has a US keyboard layout. I checked everything. The Region is set as UK and the keyboard is set for both UK and US with UK as top of the list. If I try to delete the US keyboard, Windows puts it back. The EN language bar shows US. I donwloaded the UK language pack but it was ignored. Any ideas on how I can get back to a UK keyboard layout?

    You need to override the default language settings with those you'd prefer (click screenshot to enlarge):

    Hi and thanks. I have an idea I did try the options in Advanced Settings but I'll have another look
