I am using newly updated Windows 10. Everything is set for USA including the keyboard.

I can make the changes but how can I make them permanent? Each time I restart the computer it is back to USA settings.

Help Please

    Oh dear! At this point Judith I'm starting to run out of options!

    I think the major factor is that when first setting up the computer, it is extremely important to make sure the language and keyboard settings are set to what you want them to be. I'm not saying you selected them incorrectly or even selected anything at all, as often these can be annoyingly preset by the manufacturer. But not setting them can cause these issues to occur.

    What I am saying is, at this point I can't think of much else to force this change.

    There are a few options left.

    Can you try doing the following for me:

    Go to Settings > Time and Language > Click on "Language" on the left hand side and then click on "Administrative language settings" link on the right hand side.

    On the Administrative tab, Click on the "Copy settings..." button.

    Make sure that all the settings are set to what you want them to be first. If not, close this box and make the necessary changes until they are set to what you want them to be (English - United Kingdom). Then come back and click the Copy Settings button again and continue below.

    Make sure you tick the two boxes "Welcome screen and system accounts" & "New user accounts".

    Click the OK button.

    See the screenshot i provided of my own system below to see what to do.

    Then see if this works after rebooting.

    Hi

    That was straightforward but on rebooting it is once again forgotten.

    Ok Judith. At any point in my instructions were you unable to change anything or not complete a particular step?
