How to change keyboard in Windows Server 2019 Core?

Question

Hi everyone!

How can I change keyboard in Windows Server 2019 Core mode?

"intl.cpl" does not have keyboard settings anymore... :-(

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi @Doria ,

maybe this PowerShell command works for you:

Set-ItemProperty 'HKCU:\Keyboard Layout\Preload' -Name 1 -Value 00000407  

Set the value parameter using the second link I posted above.

Hi @Doria ,

please take a look here: https://itluke.online/2019/04/27/solved-windows-core-keyboard-language-when-entering-password/
There is a section POWERSHELL SOLUTION FOR WINDOWS 2016 CORE (FOR MANY COMPUTERS) which should work with Windows Server 2019 as well.

All input locales you can find here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/default-input-locales-for-windows-language-packs?view=windows-11#input-locales

Answer 3

Thanks for you answer @Andreas Baumgarten , but too complex.

Actually, I want to change the keyboard for my current user only and not welcome screen or system accounts.

Is there any other simple way?

Thanks again.
