    Hi Alex,

    I'm Christine, an Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you. I can see here that you would like to set your default keyboard to ENG-ES. No worries, I'll do my best to help you.

    You may change your keyboard layout by pressing Windows key + Spacebar, on the right part of your taskbar, you will be asked to choose your preferred keyboard layout.

    Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/man...

    You may also do it from Settings, please open the Settings and choose Time & Language then Language and Region. Click the 3 dots next to your preferred language and move it to the top.

    Please let me know the result. I'll be happy to assist you all the way until it's resolved.

    Thank you,

    Christine L

    In that case, check to see if the language pack for the ENG/ES language has been installed like below.

    Afterwards, you can set it to be your display language like below to then have it by default.

    Hi Shawn, thanks for the info!

    The problem is that when I do that, the next time I open the computer, the preferred layout is ENG/UK, but I need ENG/ES to be the default layout.

    How can I do it?

    Hi Tin, thanks for the info!

    The problem is that when I do that, the next time I open the computer, still the preferred layout is ENG/UK but I need ENG/ES to be the default layout.

    How can I do it?
