How to change the keyboard layout order for the SAME language in Language Options

Anonymous

I use two languages in my desktop: Italian and English. I also use two different Italian keyboards layouts: the standard one and an enhanced one with several more characters by using AltGr. In Windows settings I can reorder languages but not layouts in the same language. In fact, if I go to Settings > Time & Language > Language > Preferred languages, I can move Italian language as first and English as last, but if I click on Italian language to get Options, I cannot do the same in Language options: Italian (Italy) > Keyboards. The first keyboard is the standard one, the last is the enhanced one. I would like to have the enhanced one as default. Any way to do it? By regedit, for instance?

Hi Dario,

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

In order to change the order of the keyboards under a language, remove the first one, then, add it back, so it will go under the other keyboard on the list.

Well, it worked but sometimes Windows swap to Italian standard layout or even English layout without a reason. Honestly I do not like very much the trend of modern operating system to try to anticipate user's needs... 😉
