The keyboard keeps changing language

[FrankieEdwards]

Hello,

I bought my laptop in France and therefore have a French AZERTY keyboard. But the keyboard keeps switching to an English QWERTY keyboard even when I am using it. That is, it doesn't change every time I switch the computer on but when I'm already using it.

Please can someone tell me why this keeps happening and how I stop this happening?

Thank you.

Frankie

Hi,

What may be happening is that the keyboard shortcut to switch input methods is accidentally being activated - you can check if this is the case by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the Shift key - if this toggles the input methods, you can prevent this as follows.

Open windows Control Panel and in the top right, next to View by: select 'Large Icons'.  From the new layout, select Language and then click on Advanced settings in the left hand pane.

Under the sub-heading 'Switching input methods', click on Change language bar hot keys.

Highlight the top entry 'Between input languages' and then click the Change Key Sequence button.

Under the heading 'Switch Keyboard Layout', select Not Assigned - click Ok and then click Apply and OK in the previous window.
