Server Fault Asked by Bangaio on December 23, 2020
Version: Windows 10 1909 (Spanish)
I wish to add two keyboard layouts (Spanish, US English) to the es-AR
language profile in an unattended installation.
I have the following in the OOBE pass:
<settings pass="oobeSystem">
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-International-Core" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<InputLocale>2C0A:0000040A;2C0A:00000409</InputLocale>
<SystemLocale>es-AR</SystemLocale>
<UILanguage>es-ES</UILanguage>
<UILanguageFallback>en-US</UILanguageFallback>
<UserLocale>es-AR</UserLocale>
</component>
[...]
Keyboard Identifiers:
0000040A -> Spanish
00000409 -> United States - English
Default Input Profiles:
Spanish - Argentina es-AR: Latin American (2c0a:0000080a)
According to that article, the default keyboard will get added for the UserLocale
(even if not specified in InputLocale
in the unattend file, apparently). So I get 3 keyboards (Spanish, US English, Latin American) instead of 2 like I want (Spanish, US English).
Is there any way to prevent this behavior?
EDIT:
I ended up writing a script to re-set the keyboards. It’s too ugly to post since it’s a mix of batch and powershell (which I need to learn properly some day), but the gist of it is:
Set-WinUserLanguageList
HKCUControl PanelInternational
in the registry, replace the contents of User Profile System Backup
with those of User Profile
. I found out if you don’t do this, the changes can get reverted under unknown circumstances.HKCU
, copy the following keys: Keyboard Layout
, Control PanelInternational
, Control PanelInput Method
and SoftwareMicrosoftCTF
to the accounts (under HKEY_USERS
): DEFAULT
(hive needs to be loaded from %SYSTEMDRIVE%UsersDefaultntuser.dat
), .DEFAULT
, S-1-5-19
and S-1-5-20
Control Panel > Region > Administrative > Copy Settings > Welcome screen and system accounts | New User Accounts
does, or at least it has the same effect.Get help from others!
