Prevent Windows 10 from adding EN_US keyboard
Windows 10 will add EN_US keyboard from time to time, even if you uninstalled it. Solution:
- Create a DWORD key named IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout and give it a value of 1 (decimal).
- Uninstall the undesired keyboard
- Reboot
- Remove legacy reg key
reg delete "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Keyboard Layout\Preload" /f
Or modify the Preload list with theese codes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-language-pack-default-values?view=windows-11
