Here’s an example to better understand this problem: If you work on an English version of Windows, but you get Korean as a working language, your input language is set to Korean by default. Sometimes, Windows will change this setting automatically when you switch between apps, thus a different keyboard layout too. So the keyboard layout changed suddenly in Windows 10. This affects all Windows versions regardless, and consequently, all apps running under Windows – including Sign In and MS Office. The same issue also appears on the latest OS, with users reporting that the Windows 11 keyboard language changes automatically. Why this happens is because the Input Language can be programmed to be maintained per app or per window through an API that changes the input locale to a different or default keyboard layout is enabled for the user. Some apps like Office try to decipher the language you use when typing a document, email, or presentation and change the input language accordingly (including keyboard layout). Check out some solutions below to disable the keyboard language switch in Windows 10.
